FEATURED HIGHLIGHT:
First Printed Bible in English
Among its many treasures, the collection contains a pristine copy of the Coverdale Bible, the first printed Bible in English - last appraised in excess of $1.5 million USD.
Published in 1535, it was dedicated to Anne Boleyn, wife of King Henry VIII. Less than twenty copies remain in private hands. This remarkable example is among the finest surviving copies.
