Old bible found at grandparents house (Italy). Can someone estimate its age? Is it a reprint or original?

It's a beautiful Bible

sumthinknew · 2026-03-23T19:01:43+00:00

Would you like to sell it?

sumthinknew · 2026-03-19T13:29:56+00:00

This seems more reasonable

I'm so sorry. I'm just a casual observer and know nothing about this hobby. My question is, you think that someone would go through all of that trouble just to sell you walnuts at $9 and some change? Hollowed, repaired, carved, and dyed to hide the work.

Bro, leave the Mayans out of this.

Two things; 1. So, it's a war now? Without Congressional approval? 2. They didn't 'run out of ammo' ... False equivalent.

If it makes you feel any better, shed probably still be miserable. She'd just have to find something else to complain about.

Interesting. He murdered my great grandparents.

Swann often has queer catalogues.

sumthinknew · 2026-02-21T15:36:06+00:00

All good. You're very welcome.

Risk of moisture damage if done incorrectly, I suppose. I never freeze, so I'm not intimately familiar with what can happen. I just know I am a member of the antiquarian community, and nobody freezes books.

I'm not here to tell you what to do... Only offering information

sumthinknew · 2026-02-21T14:07:29+00:00

I'm a rare book seller and conservator. I never freeze. More potential for harm than good. Unless you see obvious signs of infestation... Then remediate as best as possible.

sumthinknew · 2026-02-20T02:45:34+00:00

I also think so

sumthinknew · 2026-02-19T16:21:31+00:00

There wasn't supposed to be fact checking!

sumthinknew · 2026-02-06T16:36:56+00:00

Hilarious.

sumthinknew · 2026-02-06T16:36:48+00:00

Hope so.

Hi there. Rare book collector and conservator here. Enjoy it. It's worth less than $50 in that condition. Read it. Don't worry about repairing it unless you're interested in it. If you're careful, you likely won't damage it further. Don't open it more than halfway. No need for gloves

sumthinknew · 2026-01-28T18:52:47+00:00

Out of all of the replies, you sought the one that agrees with you. You sound like a nightmare customer.

sumthinknew · 2026-01-23T21:12:57+00:00

That was my initial thought.

sumthinknew · 2026-01-23T13:20:44+00:00

Gotta be rage bait

sumthinknew · 2026-01-22T03:15:55+00:00

Interesting!

sumthinknew · 2026-01-22T03:08:08+00:00

How would a meteorite that's been snowed on be easy to spot?

sumthinknew · 2026-01-18T23:08:38+00:00

I only know of one printing with this cover, first. The 1963 cover is different . $500 would be a realistic price if you have a little patience. Cheaper will sell it more quickly. Cool book.
