The Old Testament (1948) – Prof. Dr. H.Th. Obbink – Sixth Edition – Sijthoff Leiden

A sober and characteristic post-war edition of The Old Testament, translated by Prof. Dr. H.Th. Obbink and published in Leiden in 1948.

This abridged edition reflects the restrained style of the late 1940s: black linen binding, gold print, and clear, academic typography. A book that not only holds religious significance but also aesthetically enhances a vintage interior or bookshelf.

The binding shows light signs of wear consistent with its age, but the interior is remarkably neat and firmly bound.

A beautiful piece of Dutch post-war printing history.

Although this book may not be rare, it is currently unique in our collection in terms of origin and language. Please note that the price may not be market-compliant.
