LA SANTA BIBLIA SPANISH BIBLE - 9781025194929

La Santa Biblia is a facsimile reprint of the Spanish-language Bible published by the American Bible Society in 1899, containing the Old and New Testaments in Spanish. It is reproduced directly from an original copy, so it preserves the look of the historical printing. It is suited to readers interested in the history of Spanish-language Bibles, to collectors and researchers, and to Spanish-speaking readers who want this particular historical edition. Because it is a reproduction of an old printed book, some pages may show library stamps, original copyright notices, stray marks, or blurred or missing text.

This edition reprints the 1899 text as faithfully as the original copy allows, rather than resetting it in modern type. That makes it useful for comparing historical Spanish Bible translations, or for anyone who values the text as it was printed more than a century ago. Readers who want a modern, clearly printed Spanish Bible for daily reading, or a Catholic edition, may prefer a newly typeset Bible instead. At 1,158 pages and about 3½ pounds, it's a full-size paperback for reading at a desk or table.

Use & care: Suited to historical study, collecting, and comparing Spanish Bible translations, as well as personal reading. Open the thick paperback gently rather than folding it back, support the spine, and store it upright on a shelf.
