Bibles on Display

Professor Phil Towne and family view Bibles on display.

The Darling Library is pleased to display a collection of rare and interesting Bibles donated over the years. A lovely display case, funded by the Treasures N Beyond board houses them on the second floor of the library.

To give proper attention to these Bibles, an archival finding aid has been created for each of them. The finding aids allow a deeper look at them without the need to expose them to destructive elements such as oily finger prints and page turning.

In order of age:

• Latin Bible (1565) 
• Geneva Bible (1568) 
• Genealogies Bible (1629) 
• Biblia Hebraica (1859) 
• Children’s Church Bible, RSV, (1952)
• Franklin Mint Silver Family Bible (1975) 
• Codex Sinaiticus, facsimile ed. (2010)

Come in and take a look any time the library is open.
