Interesting for the history of printing and distribution of books in the early 19th century. Subscribers specified the type of paper they wished to order: “schreib paper” or “post paper.” In addition, those ordering ten copies receive an additional copy complimentary. This prospectus is not noted by Vinograd who records the published Bible, yet does not list the names of the printers as noted in the prospectus.
This particular prospectus is likely the publisher’s personal copy is it contains a manuscript record of the subscribers.
