About the Collector

Stewardship of sacred texts

This private cabinet centers on early printed Bibles and Testaments, acquired over decades of careful searching. Each volume is handled as a witness to faith, typography, and history— conserved with the same respect shown to an illuminated manuscript.

The focus is on first or early editions, unusual translations, and copies with notable provenance. Condition reports are kept current, and conservation is carried out with archival materials only.
