This is just a reminder that, in 1631, Robert Barker in London misprinted a famous line of the Holy Bible, namely „Thou shalt commit adultery“.

The forbidden copies with the famous slip sold well, and a few survived in our catalogues. The edition was called the Wicked Bible afterwards. #bookhistory #histodons #history #bible

In addition to running for the highest office (again) and fighting some 90 criminal charges in court, the former president is now hawking a $60 copy of the King James #Bible that also includes copies of the U.S. #Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of #Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the “handwritten chorus” to the country song “God Bless the #USA,” by Lee Greenwood. (Naturally, it is known as the “God Bless the USA Bible.”)
