bible.jpg

Leeds, England
A 1911 tiny copy of the Bible is displayed at Leeds city library. The replica of a so-called Chained Bible is not much bigger than a £1 coin but contains both testaments printed on 876 gossamer-thin India paper pages, which can only be read with a magnifying glass. Librarians are unsure as to its origins as it only resurfaced when the library decided to do a comprehensive survey during lockdown closures
