What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Leather Binding

Printed in Greek and in Latin. 

The text of this New Testament mostly reproduces the text edited by John Mills, which is one of the most famous eighteenth century Greek testaments.  This Baskerville printing was issued in 4to and 8vo, with 500 4to copies ordered and 2000 in 4vo.  

This is a bright wide-margined copy of this work. 

Bound with the half title. 

ESTC reference no: T94898. 

In need of a sympathetic rebind, this copy remains extremely bright internally. 

Condition

In a contemporary full calf binding. The boards are detached but present. Loss to the head and tail of spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd spots.

Good Only
