RARE!! 1692 JOHN BUNYAN 'leaf' - To Frame "Printed, and to be Sold by William Marshall at the Bible in New-gate street. 1692 (LONDON)"THIS IS THE BEST LEAF FROM THIS COLLECTION TO FRAME - ALL OF JOHN BUNYAN'S BOOKS & SHORT BIO. ! John Bunyan (28 November 1628 – 31 August 1688) was an English Christian writer and preacher, who is well known for his book The Pilgrim's Progress. Though he became a non-conformist and member of an Independent church, and although he has been described both as a Baptist and as a Congregationalist, he himself preferred to be described simply as a Christian. He is remembered in the Church of England with a Lesser Festival on August 30, and on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (US) on August 29. Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress in two parts, the first of which was published in London in 1678 and the second in 1684. He conceived the work during his first period of imprisonment, and probably finished it during the second. The earliest edition in which the two parts combined in one volume came in 1728. A third part - attributed to Bunyan - appeared in 1693, and was reprinted as late as 1852. Its full title is The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come. The Pilgrim's Progress is arguably one of the most widely known allegories ever written, and has been extensively translated. Protestant missionaries commonly translated it into local languages as the first book after the Bible. ___________________________________________________________________________ ITEM DESCRIPTION: [Extracted BEST 'leaf' - To Frame] 'A Catalogue-Table of Mr. Bunyan's Books..' from 'THE WORKS' of John Bunyan INCLUDES: 1 'leaf' with text front and back SIZE: (Large Folio) approx. 13.0" height x 8.0" width TITLE PAGE: A printed copy of the title page will be included (as shown in eBay photo to right) PRINT DATE: Original 1692 London (1st Edition) CONDITION: good condition for its age with light foxing and wear around margin edges.

Purchasers of my 'extracts' have included Collectors, Researchers, Museums, Universities, College Professors, Pastors, Bible Teachers & students of history interested in research of early printed texts as well as those who wanted to frame a ‘leaf’ as part of a wall hanging display or for a unique gift. Please take time to read my 'Sellers' Feedback as I have many satisfied customers and I always work hard to provide timely shipping including placing all 'extracts' in archival sleeves for protection. Thank you. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *IMPORTANT - Please read definitions in Glossary below Extract: defined as a piece of literary work that has been removed from a larger volume. This may consist of complete chapters, several pages, or even one single page. It also may consist of an entire book or pamphlet that has its own title page but was bound together with other works in a large volume. Since the extract has been removed from a binding it may appear somewhat rough along the edge where it was bound; however, this will normally be well outside of the text area.Title Pages: Since most books only have one title page with the print date and the author's name; I will include a printed copy with the extract(s) to authenticate the print date. Frame & Display Items: Many of the 'extracts' that I sell are from very rare or early editions of a printing. These 'extracts' can make great wall hangings if properly framed and matted; perhaps including a picture of the author which can make for a stunning display. They also make great gifts for those who are looking for that unique item. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ U.S. SHIPPING: **SPECIAL - (FREE SHIPPING & INSURANCE / U.S. ONLY) NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING Return Policy: A refund will only be offered if the item is not as described.
