876 printed pages. 28 full-page illustrations. Complete with original aluminium magnifying glass. Facsimile of Oxford Pica 16mo and printed on the "very thinnest Oxford Paper ever made". Original pale yellow and gilded floral endpapers. All edges gilt (not red, as mentioned in the Bryce Catalogue of c.1907). Contemporary minuscule ink inscription on front endpapers, about 17 lines of sentimental declaration. 29 x 43 mm. Original grey velvet spine with embossed aluminium covers and gilded aluminium clasp. A rare Bryce variant, in the original catalogue but not hitherto known in commerce. The Bryce catalogue mentions the existence of this bible with "Aluminium sides and clasp, Red edges, with magnifying Glass, 2/- 6d. net". The regular binding only cost 1/- 6d. Garbett repeats this description but does not appear to have seen an aluminium copy. Bondy does not mention an aluminium copy at all. No copies listed or noted in commerce or reference books. Bondy. 108. Garbett, 20. Pistner, B233:2. Spielmann, 388. Welsh, 787. OCLC, 877427799. WorldCat locates 12 copies of this edition in other bindings worldwide. One of the smallest of all Bryce miniature books and the smallest New Testament ever printed. "Staggeringly small"-Bondy. It is extraordinary that the matching magnifier has not been separated from its bible or lost altogether.
