The Mazarine Bible.
From the Hartford COurant.


At the meeting of the Connecticut His
torical society in Hartford, the chief inter-
est gathered about the exhibition OF one OF
the rarest and most valuable books in the
world. DIR. Trumbull brought out the Maza-
rine Bible belonging to the collection of the
late George Brinley. This is one of the only
two copies in America, and there are only
six in the world. 1t was printed in 1855.
Two years ago two copies were sold at auc-
ton in London in the same sale, and one,
printed upon paper brought $l4,00n gold;
the other, on vellum, brought $40, 1000, gold.
Usually vellum copy of any work brings
four or five times as much as a paper one;
but the history of the Mazarine Bible raises
the value of the paper copies relatively to
those on vellum. Gutenberg printed the
first copies in 1855. and all those were on
paper; in 1456 Faust cot possession OF the
types, and his edition was partly on yellum.
Those, consequently, are not so completely
''original."
Ths Brinley Copy is on paper-Sce OF the

genuine Gutenberg prints-and is a marvel
OF the printers work. Its equal could not
be made to-day. The ink, though 400 years
old and more, is as distinct as ink could be,
and the paper is still white and clear. The
register is perfect, and the appearance Of
the page far surpasses that of the best mod
ern books. The work is printed in Latin,
with number of curious contract symbols
in the text, used to space the lines evenly.
Three different ways of the letter S-broad,
moderate width and narrow-are examples
of the care taken in such respects This vol
ume was probably bound about 100 years
after printing, and must have been hidden
away for centuries in some monastery. The
Mazarine Bible was the first book printed
with movable type.
