Blurb: “Compact antique German New Testament featuring Evangelium St. Matthäus, printed in Gothic script and bound in original leather with clasp remnants. Heavily worn from centuries of use, with extensive period handwriting, owner inscriptions, and notes throughout the flyleaves and margins. The text block remains intact despite notable wear, soft boards, spine loss, and age-toned pages. A remarkable survivor that reflects deep personal devotion and everyday use.

 

Ideal for collectors of early religious works, manuscript material, or those drawn to the tactile history of well-used devotional books. Also well suited for display, study, or creative and artistic projects incorporating authentic antique ephemera.”
