It just hit me, while not the same material and beauty as the rich wood, someone may have 3D print files for the Uzbek stand or something quite similar so it could be recreated in a different medium.
for the latest bible phenomenon: youtubes Truth Is Christ; since 2020, guy has found, currently, 773 examples of math embedded in the bible; absolutely nothing like previous 'numerology' stuff; must see to believe; will only take a couple youtubes to blow you away.
The Bible. A compilation of the words of men about God. Used for many purposes by men under the watchful observations of God's more knowledge celestial agents. One things for sure, Christ didn't write it. The search for Truth is a personal journey, the Universe does not spoon feed, my personal preference leans towards the Urantia Book. It's all out there in many forms in this world of confusion; Truths, Lies, and Errors, your playground to pick through.
I recently purchased a replica set of the Thomson Translation of the Bible. I wanted the oldest American version to avoid PC language. Barnes and Noble publishes printed scans of the original from the early 1800s, so the pages look old even if they don’t feel old.
Matthew 24 is all about the times we are living in now.
24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
If you go back to Genesis 6 and look at the days of Noah and look at what those original words meant in Hebrew you will see that yes these days are similar. There is nothing new under the sun.
AS far as I recall, commentators are all over the map on when Revelation was written - the earliest suggested period is during the reign of Nero, which might correlate to St John being in exile on Patmos due to Neronian persecuation of Christians. (50s A.D. ish) Others put it a generation or so later during the persecutions during Domitian's reign (90s A.D.) It's been long enough since I looked into it that I will not opine on which might be correct.
Carl is right. Though for shear poetry of language the KJV is probably top. In terms of accurate translations, while not poetic, I'd suggest also reading the New Jerusalem translation. It was an ecumenical effort by many linguists and philologists (including JRR Tolkien).
With all due respect that old bible is beautiful (buy it), but I would also highly recommend getting a Doui-Rheims Catholic Bible which was the first full translation (1609) into English (revised in 1750) and before the KJV translation (1611) of the Reformationists. The KJV moved 7 canonical books to the end as "apocrypha" on the "authority" of ex-priest Martin Luther. There are wonderful spiritual Truths in the removed books. Check them out.
Magnificent work!!!

Thank you for letting us see that! I too enjoy old books and that Bible was gorgeous and so intricate.

Hello Michael. These Bibles and the Uzbek Bible stands are so beautiful. Thank you for showing them to us.
Good luck getting exactly what you want and even more and better than what you could imagine. Jeannie

I love old book stores and books !
So I' guessing you never read anything from the book of Matthew?
I'd look for a Geneva bible translation as well.
Michael why do Americans refuse to examine the EVIDENCE ....

When does the comments of Revelation say Revelation was written?

I was curious about that particular Bible he was looking at said.
I lean towards the time of Nero.

Apologies, Elaine is right. that's what I get trying to write when half asleep. Peter was secretary for Peter--of course, Matthew Did know shorthand.
