The buyer know he had a bargain
a wicked Bible" one of four or five
such books in existence
Many Of the people at the sale had
no idea what a wicked Bible is
but the buyer knew and SO did the
auctionecT. They know that a devout
British printer, way back in 1881, in.
nocently dropped the word not from
the Seventh Commandment. This I'M
fortunate oversight made the com
mandment read. Thou shalt commit
adultery"
The printer was unaware Of his
sinful typography until his error was
angrily called to the attention of the
British Crown and 10 the higWigs Of
the Church. The man protested his
good faith, but all his pleas that he
was a church.going man got him
nowhere. The muSty records Of Eng
liSh Jurisprudence reveals that he was
fined ST. 00-an enormous fortune
in those days.
Whether he was able to pay this
penalty for his bad proofrcading, the
records do not Say-but he did give
the modern collectors of rare and
unusual books four or five items that
always make news when one Of them
pops up for sale.
1t is said that, for many years,
owners Of the wicked Bibles" kept
them under dock and key and tried
TO conceal the fact that they had such
a blasphemous volume in the house.
They were wise-beCause they might
have suffered the same fate as the
printer who made one of the biggest
three.letter mistakes in history.
