Miniature Leather-Covered Bible

Miniature brown leather bound Bible

Tiny, brown leather bound book is only 6 cm and does not have any overly elaborate decoration or tooling on the exterior. However, there are several beautiful woodcut prints that can be found throughout the book, which add to its charm. It is a great example of the miniature Bibles that were popular with laypeople and were able to be easily transported around (unlike the large medieval tomes often found in monasteries and other library collections). The title, publishing dates, and creator are unknown because the first several pages have been torn out unfortunately but is otherwise in good condition.
