Newly Rebound by Simple and Timeless Rebinds in Italian BADALASSI CARLO hand tooled leather. Visit them here: https://forgeflower.com/rebinds/

Title Page reads: “The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and The New: Newly translated out of the Original Tongues. Thomas And Clarke. With the former Translations diligently conpar’d & revis’d By his Ma(ts) Special Command Appointed to be read in Churches London Printed by the Afsigns of Thomas Newcomb, and Henry Hills, deceas’d, Printers to the Queens most Excellent Majesty 1711.”

This is one of two volumes, the second being the New Testament. Herbert entry #912 mentions a two volume set for this year, although it’s not the right size. The 1905 Darlow & Moule entry #712 mentions this size, but it is only one volume. Both the Herbert and D&M say this is the version where the New Testament had a 1710 title page.
 
It is bound in original full dark red leather binding, with elaborate gold gilt decoration to both boards and spine, inner board edges, and the name ” Martha Dauies” on the front.
It is Red-Ruled: For a small percentage of Bibles, the borders and important parts of the text would be marked using a straightedge and red ink. Each page is outlined after printing, which was a very detail oriented and time consuming practice. Red-ruling makes the text stand out, easier to read, and was a practice used by the very wealthy of the time.
 
The size is approx. 8 inches tall, approx. 5 inches wide, and approx. 2 inches thick – Quarto.
It weighs approx. 2.25 pounds unpacked.
 

Condition: Newly Rebound by Simple and Timeless Rebinds in Italian BADALASSI CARLO hand tooled leather. Some browning, but most pages are clean, crisp, with nice margins.
Please see all photos for condition.

Bible Condition Guide
At-a-glance Condition Guide
Standard condition grades used for antiquarian Bibles.
Grade Short definition Key signs to look for Typical use / value
Fine (F) Virtually as issued; near‑new for its age. Tight, original binding; clean, unmarked pages; original leather or cloth intact; minimal shelf wear. Collector quality; commands the highest premium.
Very Good (VG) Light signs of use but well cared for. Minor rubbing at edges; small scuffs; sound binding; complete text and plates/maps present. Collectible; desirable but lower premium than Fine.
Good (G) Clearly used; moderate wear and handling signs. Fading or spine rubbing; light foxing or inscriptions; small tears; structurally sound. Solid reading copy; modest market value.
Fair Worn but generally complete text block. Heavy wear to boards; loose hinges; missing endpapers or half‑title; soiling or repairs needed. Low value; suitable for restoration or rebinding.
Poor / Reading Copy Heavily damaged; often only the text remains usable. Detached covers; missing pages; severe water/mold damage; heavy foxing or staining. Reference or restoration only; minimal market value unless content is exceptionally rare.

Note: Binding condition (original, rebacked, or binding copy) and presence of plates, maps, or family registers significantly affect value. Please look at all photos and read the entire description when evaluating a listing.
