Description from the seller
Description:
In auction, an enchanting ancient edition of the Holy Bible in French, presumably dating from the 18th century (1700-1799). The volume features a sturdy period binding in full leather with a ribbed spine. The work includes a detailed 'Table of Contents' (analytical index and concordance) located at the end of the volume, typical of Protestant editions of the time (such as the versions by David Martin or Ostervald).
Technical details
• Title: The Holy Bible (to be verified on the frontispiece)
Language: French
Era: 18th century
• Dimensions: approximately 13.5 x [insert height] cm
• Pages: [Insert the last page number you see] (the volume is quite substantial).
Full brown leather binding with gold embellishments on the spine (partially faded).
Conditions (Please read carefully):
The book is a genuine piece of history and bears the signs of the times that attest to its antiquity.
Cover: Widespread signs of wear, lack of leather at the corners and on the back cushions.
Interior: Presence of galleries and wormholes that cross several pages, typical of antique paper, but which do not hinder the reading of the main text.
Letter: Some browning and physiological foxing due to age.
