A unique facsimile of the most extraordinary Bach document
A complete facsimile, in which every detail of the original has been reproduced, has now become available to interested buyers and institutions. Companies in the United States (where the Bible is kept in Concordia Seminary Library in St. Louis) and Poland (where experts have been intensely involved in the printing and binding process) have worked with the Dutch publisher Van Wijnen of Franeker, who acquired the world-wide rights for this publication. This has led to a remarkable finished product.
The Bach-Calov Bible will be available for the first time. Never before has this unique work been republished.
