Description

Please see my other auctions for more antique Bible leaves, thinning out some of my collection, not enough wall space anymore!
This is a very early incunabula printed, but hand-illuminated page from Amerbach's Biblia Sacra printed in 1482 - close to six-hundred years old!  Comes with COA and facsimile page of the dated final page of the Bible.  This is Proverbs 14 through 18, page is hand-numbered, very early European printing.  This leaf is remarkable in that some monk hundreds of years ago inked notations along the outside margins and drew hands and fingers pointing at particular passages!  A personal touch from hundreds of years ago!  This is a truly unique page and it's been a serious conversation starter!  Page is 8x11" so it displays nicely when framed.
Will ship to U.S. addresses only, please ask questions first, all sales final, I do my best to describe things accurately.  Buyer to pay for USPS priority mail postage.  Thanks and God bless.
