181820352Leipzig: Karl Tauchnitz 1818. First Edition thus. Full Morocco. Outer case also full morocco. Fine. A miniature embossed plaque a relief of the da Vinci painting "The Last Supper" mounted onto the front cover and framed in silver. 12mo. 148 by 93 mm. 239 pp. With frontis steel engraved plate. Tauchnitz issued bibles both new and old testaments in various formats. However we are aware of no bibles published by Tauchnitz before 1818. Furthermore none of other copies of the 1818 New Testament issued by the company appear to have a binding with an embossed plaque such as this one. It is our sense that the plaque was issued like this by Tauchnitz given the similarity of the material and our observation that other copies of this edition have black morocco similar to our copy with some of the same detailing but that the plaque accompanied the binding in only a small number of copies and possibly only this copy. The book proper has the lightest of wear. The silver frame of the plaque is slightly tarnished but a good polishing will take care of that. The outer case does have a few abrasions and scratches. Its green inner lining has spots of rubbed color loss. However the box remains structurally sound and also attractive. Karl Tauchnitz unknown
