The Founder's First Edition

Scripturae Originales Bibliorum

The Original Scriptures of the Bible

Almost every Bible you can buy is a copy of a copy. Editors work from older English versions and smooth the language until it reads easy and safe. This one was built the hard way. The founder went back to the oldest surviving texts we have, written in ancient Hebrew, Greek, and Ethiopian, and translated them line by line into fresh English, without leaning on any modern Bible along the way.

What comes out is something genuinely new: Scripturae Originales Bibliorum, ninety-one books, including the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, gathered in the order history actually gave them. Two hardcover volumes, hand bound in black leather with a gold cross on the cover, each one numbered by hand. It is the first book this press has ever released, and only fifty copies carry this launch price and binding.

  • Translated straight from the oldest surviving texts, not copied from another English Bible
  • The complete Old and New Testaments, plus those sought-after books and others missing from the King James and other translations
  • Arranged in true historical order, so you read the story as it actually unfolded
  • Fifty numbered copies at this launch price and binding

Why we do this

A digital file can be quietlyrewritten, softened, or “updated”overnight, and you wouldnever know it changed.

A book, foil-stamped and sewn into leather, cannot. What we press into these pages is fixed. We print the classics as they were written, every word, every line, in the author's own words, and bind them to outlast the servers, the edits, and the erasures.

God, Country & the Classics, get carried away by the great books of the past.

Good to know

How is it made?

Made to order. Archival cream text block, Double-Fan Adhesive Binding so the book opens flat. Cloth is fine book cloth over board with a foil spine title. Leather is full-grain distressed cowhide with full-cover foil and raised bands. Vegan Leather uses a plant-based cover with the same foil and bands. Press runs use a special hide and die for that edition. We review every copy before it leaves the bench.

When will my order ship?

Every volume is made to order by hand. Press and Library orders typically ship in 4–8 weeks. We review every copy before it leaves the bench.

What guarantee comes with my book?

Numbered Press runs carry our lifetime craft guarantee. If the binding fails under ordinary use, we repair or replace it for the life of the book. Library and Studio bindings carry our five-year craft guarantee. If the binding fails under ordinary use within five years, we repair or replace it.
