LIMITED EDITION, ONE OF THREE COPIES BOUND BY SOBOTA. The original Velislav Bible was created ca. 1325-1349 and is one of the earliest examples of a "Biblia pauperum," or "Pauper' Bible," which were effectively picture books of major scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Jan Sobota was commissioned to bind 10 copies of this work in "period" style. Sobota passed away, however, after completing approximately two of them.
