WITH A LEAF FROM the Newberry Bible. De Hamel and Silver, "Disbound and Dispersed," 168.5. As new; one copy with the inserted leaf a bit browned with a small open tear to the margin (not affecting the text) but still excellent; the other with a very fine leaf, just a bit browned at the edges. These two copies of this delightful publication feature a leaf of the famed 1780 Newberry "Thumb Bible," accompanied by an essay written by one of the 20th century's most noted collectors of miniature books. It is a charming tribute on the bicentennial of the publication of one of the world's smallest Bibles. The Newberry Bible, fully titled "The Bible in Miniature, or a Concise History of the Old & New Testaments" was produced by Elizabeth Newberry, the niece of John Newbery, pioneering children's book publisher and the namesake of the Newberry Medal. Ruth E. Adomeit (1912-96) was a lifelong miniature book enthusiast: along with being known for her personal library, she wrote the leading bibliography of thumb bibles, was editor of "The Miniature Book Collector" from 1960-62, and was active in the Miniature Book Society. This publication is made especially charming by its size, which perfectly fits the tiny leaf it contains.

ONE OF 60 COPIES. 65 x 45 mm. (2 1/2 x 1 3/4"). 20 pp., [1] leaf. Quarter red leather over patterned paper boards, flat spine lettered in gilt, Dutch gilt endpapers. With a leaf from the Kleine Print miniature bible, containing an excellent engraving of Jezebel and Jehu from 2 Kings 9. DeHamel and Silver, "Disbound and Dispersed," 196.5. See also: Welsh 938; Spielmann 280. The book in mint condition (the inserted leaf just slightly browned at edges, but fine and fresh). This charming little leaf book pays tribute to a very rare miniature Bible published around 1750 in The Hague. Composed entirely of engravings printed on one side only, the work is a masterpiece of small-scale printing. In the words of the Spielmann Catalogue, "Many of the scenes depicted [in the original Bible] are of astounding beauty, considering the tiny scale upon which the artist had to work." The genesis of the present leaf book was the acquisition by the noted miniature book collector Ruth E. Adomeit (1910-96) of a fragment of 61 leaves from this Bible, which she obtained during a European trip in 1953. Our copy contains an engraving showing the meeting between the military commander Jehu and the wicked Queen Jezabel, which ends with Jezebel's being thrown from a window by her eunuchs. We see her mid-fall and upside down in the present image, while Jehu watches triumphantly from his chariot. Not surprisingly, given its small print run, this item is not commonly seen for sale.
