$229.99
The Poor Man’s Bible’s nickname came from the small format – median octavo (6 3/16 x 4 5/16 inches; 157×110 mm). Despite the relatively small size, the Bible exhibits the best craftsmanship of its time. It was printed in a new architectural design “rotunda,” that allowed Johannes Froben to produce printed pages of great clarity and neatness despite its small size.
This leaf is easily readable, and would look beautiful framed or on display.
Printed 1491-1495 in Basel by Johannes Froben.
Size: Approx. 6 3/16 x 4 5/16 inches. Small format – Median Octavo
Condition: Good, Evidence of ageing: light soiling, browning.
