About this Item

A wonderful example of the now scarce first printing with no statement of additional printings, matching dates on the title page and copyright page as well as the correct first issue number code on title page. The Holy Scriptures here represent the entire Hebrew Bible, for the first time translated in full by a Jewish community. The labours of translation spanned some 25 years and many different translators before finally being released in 1917. Book is very good plus, previous owner name in pencil, but not other markings, with some wear from reading, spotting here and there, though not affecting text, a bump to the text block, sticker scar inside front board, and crease to paper boards visible from inside only. Presents better than here described. Small octavo in cloth backed card wraps, gilt titles, red block stain on all three edges, 1136 pages. Satisfaction guaranteed. Additional photos always available on request. Shipped in a fitted, padded box.
