1 KINGS 18:29-20:30. “Contest on Mt Carmel”. Biblia Sacra (Latin Bible), printed in Nuremburg by Anton Koberger, 1482. 11″ x 7.75″ The fifth Koberger Bible. Reference: D&M 6081 (2); GW 4250. EXCELLENT condition. Top margin just above the headline; small blotches at end of ch 20 mostly in margin. Two (2) large multi-colored, hand painted initials. Fabulous!
