I have seen that website before! Those are most impressive. My personal favorite is DSC_0273...and I see on the "Who's got them" page that Master Rumpling has a copy.  |

Oh, wow. Now I am really torn. Should I save my pennies for the gorgeous brocaded shoes with the Louis heel.... or for a beautiful leather-bound 1733 New Testament?
Both of the ones you guys mentioned are beautiful. The light tan is nice, but I am really drawn to the rich brown of #DSC 0251. And I do like the tooled design.
Oh my... oh my. |

| Yup, looks like Mr. Rumping is even using it for his reenactments. Now I must go see one. |
There are easier things in life then trying to find a good guy..... Nailing jelly to a tree for example. |

Obi,
That is the one I ordered.....#0273, and also Proverbs 11. Good choice! I'll use it at our Divine Service and Sermon at events on Sunday mornings....it is perfect! They should be here in a few days; they were shipped today.
Thanks, Rich, for putting us onto this site.

I knew you would do it, Captain! I just knew it!
I can't wait to see it at Charter Day. |

Well, I got my New Testament Bible and Book of Solomon's Proverbs......used them this past Sunday at Conrad Weiser Homestead Pennsylvania Charter Day at Conrad Weiser Homestead, Womelsdorf, PA. Charter Day is celebrated annually to commemorate the granting of the Charter to William Penn for what would become Pennsylvania. It is celebrated at all State Historic Sites here.
I am Commanding Officer of the 3rd Battalion Pennsylvania Regiment of Foote, "The Augusta Regiment", Burd's Co'y. The officer with the red lapels is Captain Lynn Otto, of the First Battalion Pennsylvania Regiment of Foote, Weiser's Battalion, our sister Regiment and hosts for the day, and the other officer is my Lieutenant Alan Hackenburg.
We always do Divine Service and Sermon on Sundays when we are at an event, and invite the public to attend a "Proper Mid-18th Century Military Garrison or Field Service and Sermon", as ordained by King George II in the Articles of War, Article I, Section I, which is always read in its entirety before the Service. In addition to the 30 or so soldiers, we had several of our camp followers, including Wilderness Woman, (who by the way, made the images you will see below in the links,) and civilian dependents, with about 50+ attending public visitors, so there was about 85-90 people at this Sermon and Service.
The Sermons which James Moore sent with this order are too long for this setting, but I intend to use them at an appropriate time and place this Campaign Season. I found them very interesting and unique.
Go here to see the images of their use:
http://www.18thcenturybibles.org/Whos_got_them.html
Look at the big one on top and the top left in the lower part.....
and here, too:
http://www.18thcenturybibles.org/Photos.html
I would urge anyone who is even remotely thinking of getting these, just bite the bullet and get them. I know at least two people who were there Sunday and saw these books will be submitting orders. They are, indeed, unique and add a real touch of class to our Service. I explained to the civilian visitors what they were and that they now were also Living Historians, not just visitors in OUR world, that they were hearing the actual words that were read to people from 1733 onward whenever they attended a Service. I think they liked that...........
Sachem, thank you for the heads-up on this!

| Weren't frontier bibles also called Puritan Bibles? |
I live in my own little world - but that's okay, they know me here! |

I believe they were MUCH earlier than the 18th century ones we speak of here....they date as early as the 15th century. They were also called "Geneva Bibles".
Go here to see an article on them.
http://www.apuritansmind.com/PuritanWorship/GenevaBible.htm
I am no expert, nor am I a Biblical scholar (Heck, I can hardly spel stuf wright, and I say and do lotsa bad stuff, too.....), by ANY means, so I rely on what I can glean from searching....!
Hope this helps....I am sure there is more out there to answer your query, LOTM. |
