Yes, that is NOT a misprint... this ancient tablet made of rock-hard clay is approximately 5,100 years old! It is the oldest thing we have ever offered (or seen for sale, for that matter) in the history of our company. Accompanied by a custom-made clamshell display case, and Certificate of Authenticity, this tablet is not much bigger than a silver dollar. While the writting is not of a Biblical nature, it is nevertheless, the oldest example of written communication known to be for sale in the world at any price. Truly a rarity among rarities.

One of the oldest and most visually impressive pieces we have. Beautifully accented with a rainbow of ink colors on each page. A truly stunning book, printed a dozen years before Columbus set sail for America. Imagine owning this magnificent book as an item for display, or as an investment! This is the second "Quarto" size Bible to come off a printing press. It is also the first Bible printed with a Title Page.

An influential and very early work. We are not aware of any other copies for sale in the world. This edition was used by Tyndale to translate the New Testament into the English language for the first time. It was also used by Luther to translate the New Testament into the German language for the first time. Most scholars consider the 1516 Erasmus Parallel New Testament, in either the 1516 or the 1519 printing, to be one of the top ten most important books ever printed.

This is the first English language Bible ever translated directly from the original Biblical languages of Hebrew and Greek, and printed in English.

This large pulpit Bible, produced by the command of King Henry the Eighth, was the first English language Bible authorized for public use. They were called the “Great” Bible due to their great size, and were usually chained to the church pulpit. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, wrote the preface, so they are sometimes called “Cranmer” Bibles. Close up photos of Great Bible leaves are on display in our Ancient Rare Bible Leaves section.

The second-edition printing of the first Bible ever translated from the original Biblical languages of Hebrew and Greek, and printed in the English language. (The 1537 first edition is much more costly, and is featured in our Platinum Room). Individual leaves from a 1549 Matthews Bible start at under $200 (and 1537 Leaves under $400) in our Ancient Rare Bible Leaves section. We have several 1549 Matthew-Tyndale Bibles in stock.

William Tyndale was the first person to ever print the New Testament in the English language, and he was killed for doing so. These New Testaments were printed in the years following his execution. It is extremely unusual for printed Biblical material of the 1500’s to have wood cut illustrations, and these printings are filled with many large illustrations. They are the most artistically beautiful and elaborate antiquarian printed scripture that money can buy.

One-of-a-kind. Owned by the most famous Bible-collector of the 1800’s, and history’s leading scholar and most respected authority on William Tyndale: Francis Fry. What an unparalleled provenance!

The First Edition of the English Geneva Bible, also known as the “Breeches” Bible, and the “Bible of the Protestant Reformation”. The Geneva was the first Bible with numbered verses, and the Bible first taken to America. Quoted from hundreds of times by Shakespeare, this Bible of the Puritans & Pilgrims remained the Bible of choice for decades AFTER the King James was published. There are fewer than 50 complete 1560 First Edition Geneva Bibles known to exist. Geneva Bibles from the late 1500’s to early 1600’s starting at around $3,000 are discussed on our Family Heirloom page. See more close-up photos and read more about this Bible in our Ancient Rare Bible Leaves section.
Also available, the 1561-1562 First Folio Edition of the Geneva Bible.

The Bishops Bible is the second official Bible of the Church of England (the Anglican Church). It is the revision of their first Bible, the Great Bible of 1539, which is shown in our Platinum Room. Later, the Bishops was revised to become the King James Bible in 1611. It is sometimes called the “rough draft” of the King James version.
Individual leaves from a Bishops Bible are available in our Ancient Rare Bible Leaves section.

One of the most highly sought-after items in the world of antiquarian books: the very first of the King James Bibles printed. One sold at a Sotheby's auction in 2001 for over $400,000. Ours sell for much less than that, and are in excellent condition. For details about the difference between the “He” and “She” variants of the 1611, see the description of the “She” variant below.
An excellent investment opportunity; these Bibles have gone up in price over 25% every year for the past ten years. Imagine owning the first press run of the most printed book in history! Fewer than 200 original printings of the 1611 are known to exist (and out of that number, fewer than 50 are complete “He” variants). For better close-up images, be sure to check out our available stock of 1611 Leaves, starting under $300, in our Ancient Rare Bible Leaves section. Prices of our 1611’s vary depending on condition, page margin, and other factors. We have more than a dozen in stock, from which you may choose.

This example is in a stunning, elaborate 18th Century silver binding. We have over a dozen others from which to choose. Because a typo in Ruth 3:15 is corrected to read "she went into the city" instead of "he went into the city", it is often assumed that these 1611 "She Bibles" are actually the SECOND printing of the original 1611 King James Bible, likely done within several weeks of the 1611 "He Bibles". Many scholars now agree that the much more likely explanation is that the "He" and "She" King James Bible First Editions of 1611 were done at approximately the SAME TIME on two different presses.
There is no real evidence that one variant is any older than the other. The main reason “He” variants cost more, is simply because there are fewer of them (fewer than 50 known to exist). If you want an ORIGINAL 1611 King James First Edition, you can save a lot of money simply by choosing the "She" printing (of which fewer than 150 are known to exist).

This King James Version Bible is an unspeakably rare collector’s item. The printers were fined 300 pounds sterling for their terrible typographical error in printing the Ten Commandments, omitting the all-important word “not” and rendering the verse as, “Thou shalt commit adultery”! The lot of 1,000 copies were ordered destroyed, but only a handful escaped destruction, making them the rarest of rare. This is the only one for sale in the world.

The first Bible printed in America. Printed in the native Algonquin Indian language, and used by John Eliot to evangelize the American Indians. He actually had to develop a phonetic rendering of their native tongue and convert their spoken language into print for the first time! America's first Bible.

A Complete Hebrew Torah (original Old Testament Scriptures) on a giant sheepskin scroll over 160 feet long and 2 1/2 feet high! The oldest (and largest) item in our Bookvault: dates back to the early 1100's AD. One-of-a-kind, with a beautiful, hand-crafted soft cloth cover.
The very first King James Bible ever printed was done in 1611 in London, and can cost well into six-figures, as shown in our Platinum Room. This 1629 printing is the First Edition of the King James Bible ever printed at Cambridge, and it is also a large pulpit folio. It is a much more affordable way of owning a “First Edition” of sorts… of history’s greatest book. A superb copy, owned by a nobleman and ruled in red throughout.

One of the most famous and amusing quotes from the noted scholar and translator Erasmus was, "When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." This two-volume set of the Erasmus Paraphrase of the New Testament in English is bound in a lovely tan leather with docorative gold stamping. It is, as you might expect, the only one known to be for sale in the world.

One of the ten most important books ever printed; this is the first printing of the scriptures to have the text separated into numbered verses… a feature appearing in the English language for the first time a few years later in the 1560 Geneva Bible. Produced by Robert Stephanus (a.k.a. Robert Etienne), this is also the primary Greek text used to translate the King James Version of 1611. It is the first edition to use the “critical apparatus”, a series of marginal notes referencing which of the dozen ancient Greek texts were favored at each passage where differences occur. This edition has fetched as much as $40,000 for a copy in fine condition. This is the only one for sale in the world.

300 to 400 Year-Old Biblical Scrolls
A complete ancient Hebrew Torah Scroll of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament). These hand-written, one-of-a-kind pieces are approximately 300 to 400 years old. They were produced in the world’s oldest continually operating scriptorium, a 2,400-year old scriptorium in South Yemen, about 1,000 miles south of Israel. These are the same type of “Bible” that Jesus read, and quite possibly from the same scriptorium! They vary from scroll to scroll, as each is a unique manuscript, but most are 18 to 23 inches tall, and usually around 100 feet long.
For close-up images of what our ancient Torah scrolls look like, visit our Hebrew Torah Scroll Panels page.

It has been said the Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (also called “Foxe’s Acts and Monuments of the Christian Church”) is the most important Christian work ever printed outside of the Bible itself. This three-volume set details ALL historically known and recorded examples of the torture and martyrdom of the Saints from the First-Century Apostles up through the Reformation of the 16th Century, in extensive text and graphic woodcut illustration. Nearly 3,000 pages in length, it remains a historical work without equal. One of our most requested items.

1616 King James Folio
The First King James Lecturn Bible
Much larger than a quarto size printing, but a little smaller than the huge 1611 First Pulpit Edition; this was the first printing intended for classroom lecture use, rather than pulpit preaching. If you want a "first edition" of sorts in a large folio King James, but do not want to spend well into six figures for a 1611 ... this is what you want. Individual leaves from pre-1650 quarto King James Bibles and leaves from large 1611 pulpit folio King James Bibles are available on our Ancient Rare Bible Leaves page.

Done in Latin, and extensively accented in red ink, this is the very first concordance to the Bible ever printed! Bound in its original boards, this is the only one known to be available in the world. To even the most seasoned Bible collector we would say, "I'll bet you don't have one of these!"

One of the most sought-after polyglots (multi-language parallels), this important work gives us the opportunity to see the original languages of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrew and Greek respectively - each in parallel with the only language permitted by the organized church from 500 to 1,500 AD: Latin. This huge pulpit folio measures 16 1/2 inches tall and 11 inches wide. It is bound in quarter-calf over hand-marbled boards.

A large pulpit Bible (15 by 10 1/2 inches), printed in Germany. The first Hebrew language Bible to use VOWELS in the spelling of words.

This huge pulpit folio printing of the King James Bible is the most historically significant edition since the 1611 First Edition. It is the First Edition of the King James Bible we use today. That’s right… many people who think they use the 1611 version are shocked to discover that the 1611 version has not been in print for more than 200 years (with the exception of our facsimile reproduction of it). In 1769 the spellings were updated … for example, “citie” became “city”… and some minor wording updates were also done. All King James Bibles printed by major Bible publishers today are the 1769 edition. This First Edition of the 1769 Updated King James Bible is an excellent and affordable investment.

Greek Papyrus Fragments from 148 AD
Even by our standards... WOW, these are old! These papyrus fragments are 148 to 149 AD. While these are not writings of a Biblical nature (they are from a private lease agreement for land in Israel), they are nevertheless, the same type of manuscript material that the New Testament was origianlly penned upon... and within a single century of when the New Testament was originally written. These super-rare conversation pieces make an unforgettable display piece for your home or library. They are quite small, varying in size from one to five inches in length by two to four inches in width, and they come pressed between two panes of protective glass. A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each fragment.
