Â
Today, we are featuring from this amazing Estate Liquidation Sale, this lovely example of the 1549 Tyndale Bible (also known as the "Matthew-Tyndale" Bible) which is appraised at $75,000.Â
We have been offering it for $45,000.Â
The Estate Executor now authorized a liquidation price of $33,000.
Â
Yes, the 1549 has some leaves in facsimile... but then... that's why you are getting a pre-1550 English Folio Bible for around thirty grand, instead of paying a hundred grand for one that is 100% complete.
Â
Many collectors of antique English Bibles acquire early King James Bibles, and early Geneva Bibles, and perhaps even an early Bishops Bible. All of these are obtainable for affordable four-figure prices, with the early KJV and Geneva Bibles sometimes costing as little as around
$3,000. But then, their collecting hits a brick wall. They simply cannot budget the $75,000+ it can cost for "PRE-GENEVA" (PRE-1560) English Bibles. They are never able to take the next step because the cost curve just goes straight up, by more than an order of magnitude, when trying to get an English Bible earlier than the Geneva.Â
Â
This is an opportunity to pick up an English Bible that is not only PRE-1560... but it actually PRE-1550... at a price similar to what they were fetching back in the 1990's... prices we have not seen on 1540's Tyndale material in 25 years!
Â
Global Top Ten Bible Collection liquidations are once in a generation events, and these opportunities are rare bargains. Click the link or photos above for more details on this 1549 Matthew-Tyndale Bible.
Â
Additional photos are available upon request. We realize items at these price points are not usually purchased online with a credit card... so, just email us or call us for our bank transfer details, or other arrangements. Everything is available for inspection in our Phoenix Arizona showroom.
Â
Side Note: if you really want mid-1500's English Biblical materials, and your budget will not permit even a bargain like this Tyndale Bible, another option is
to acquire a nicely bound PORTION of the 1551Â Tyndale-Taverner Bible, (over a dozen Books of The Bible - the Intertestamental Books)Â for just $2,995, which you can see if you click here.
