This modern facsimile reprint of the 1560 "Breeches Bible" has been period rebound. It is referred to as a "Breeches Bible" because in the book of Genesis, Adam and Eve, after noticing their nakedness, took fig leaves and sewed them into 'breeches' instead of using the word 'loincloth' as other translations do.
This binding reflects a 1690's to 1740's style of tooling. It is bound in a commercial leather and the leather has been speckled for a proper period decoration. This binding also includes a brass book clasp and the text has sprinkled edges. The endpapers are made of beautiful hand marbled papers.
