About Historic <strong>Bibles</strong><br />
About 3,000 years ago, the Creator of the universe spoke to us through words written "by<br />
the finger of God" (Deut. 9:10). Prior to printing, the Bible was written by hand, on papyrus<br />
or parchment, often taking years to produce a single copy. Despite the cost, <strong>Bibles</strong> were as<br />
artistic as they were exacting, and many stunning illuminated texts survive. With the
advent of printing in 1454, the Bible became available to the laity and hastened the<br />
Reformation and the Renaissance. To preserve for posterity a leaf from an historic Bible is<br />
thus to be connected to the ongoing creativity of God's word. From early on, Christians held<br />
on to fragments of old copies or old versions of the Bible. Jews, on the other hand,<br />
meticulously copied from worn-out copies and then respectfully disposed of the older<br />
copies. Either way, the "preservation and presentation of rare historic Bible leaves" is one<br />
link in that great chain of witnesses to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.<br />
