400 year old Bible pages
Since we haven’t hit you with too many sales pitches lately (er…have we?) I thought I’d just mention that I have a very nice lot of bookmarks for sale. Like the ones on our Geneva Bible Pages site, these are each made from 1/2 of an ancient Bible page, damaged but still amazing. All are from 1640 or earlier, either King James or Geneva version.
Unlike the ones on our other site, I’m going to do something a little special here. I’ll let you choose your bookmarks! These are $7 each, with free shipping. We like payment by Paypal.
Orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis with preference given to larger orders. May I suggest that you provide a backup choice for each request just in case your first choice is not available?
Here’s what I currently have available, listed by the headers at the top of the pages:
roman letter – A modern looking font, easy to read. Many pages still have the “f” looking letters for “s”, “u” instead of “v” and other obsolete spellings.

I have 4 of these bookmarks from ya, and I’ve gotta say, it’s kind of fun to get the luck of the draw! It was fun to figure out which chapters I had.
My favorite is from Romans.
I was a little thrown off by the “f” in place of “s” but they’re still neat!

melanie,
The 2 from Psalms are from a single page which covers 86:1-92:3.
The one you inquired about is 86:1-87:5 and 89:30-90:3.
