The Holy Bible

Rare Books

A collection of 30,000 engravings, drawings, water-color paintings, printed leaves from various early Bibles, missals, etc., extra-illustrating a copy of the Kitto Bible, the leaves of which are interspersed through the set. The exact edition of the Kitto Bible used as a basis has not been identified, but may be around 1850. The Kitto title page is undated and reads: "The Holy Bible ... With copious original notes, by J. Kitto, D.D. London: Wm. S. Orr and Co." and must therefore be at least later than 1844, as Kitto was made D.D. in that year. It is a different format from the other Kitto leaves and is probably not from the same copy.
