Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. Book. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. London: The British Library, 2007. First Edition. 4to. Cloth, 160 pp. including index. With color photographs throughout. "Until the invention of the printing press, the significance of the Christian Bible as a material artifact was inestimable. Revered by the faithful, labored over by scribes and artists, studied by scholars, and coveted by the rich and powerful, an actual copy of the book took on iconic importance. Surviving manuscripts of the Bible, therefore, not only reveal the remarkable history of a massively influential text but also allow scholars to map the development of the book prior to the advent of machine printing. With 140 color reproductions of examples in the British Library's incomparable collection of Bible manuscripts, this book by manuscript curators Scot McKendrick and Kathleen Doyle outlines how the Bible was preserved and passed down over the past two millennia." A new book in a new dust jacket, protected with a mylar cover.
