Details:

1585 Latin Bible leaf from Testamentis Vetutis Biblia (The Old Testament of the Holy Bible), printed by Henry Middleton at London during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The excerpted text is from II Chronicles 27–29, printed in double-column Roman type with marginal side notes, quarto size.

Fine condition.

This rare and beautifully printed Bible leaf comes from a scarce 1585 Latin edition of the Old Testament published in Elizabethan England. The page features crisp Latin typography in Roman letterpress with classic layout and theological annotations in the margins. Produced at a time when Bible printing was tightly controlled and richly symbolic of faith, scholarship, and political power, this piece is a tangible connection to post-Reformation religious life and Tudor printing heritage.

An exceptional artifact for collectors of religious history, early printing, or rare Bible leaves.

Includes provenance from Old Paperphiles of Tiverton, Rhode Island, a known source for early printed material. A remarkable and display-worthy example of early English biblical printing—ideal for collectors of Reformation history, religious texts, and 17th-century printed works.
