JEREMIAH 31:6-32:33. “A New Covenant” (31:31). Printed in Basel, Switzerland, by Johann Froben, October 27, 1495. Octavo size: 5.75″ x 4.25″. One of the very earliest printed octavo Bibles, as handy for travel as the popular “pocket bibles” of the 13th century. Reference: Goff B598; GW 4275. Ruled in Red. With 1 hand-painted initial in RED. In EXCELLENT condition (see pics). COA on premium “gold leaf” paper with gold seal and signature.

Text is a prophesy of God’s deliverance of Israel from her Babylonian captivity, and God establishing a New Covenant, unlike the old one which was written on stone but now shall be written on their hearts.
