Original Aitken Bible Leaf
& Aitken Bible Reprint Set
Own your own piece of American history!
This set of an original leaf from the 1782 Aitken Bible, plus a lux leather Aitken Bible reprint
with gold gilded pages is a perfect heirloom to keep in the family for generations to come.
Due to a law by the British Parliament, the only English Bibles in the colonies were
imported from Europe or England. However, in 1781, publisher Robert Aitken petitioned
Congress for permission to print an English-language Bible on his presses and they
appointed a committee to review his Bible. In 1782, the committee gave the approval along
with Congressional chaplains and Congress then gave Aitken a ringing endorsement as a
resolution which he chose to print in the front of his Bible — known as the “Aitken Bible”
or “the Bible of the Revolution.”
There were only 10,000 of the Original Aitken Bibles
printed (with very few still around today) and a limited
number of reprints, so the chance to own this set is an
amazing opportunity! We have a very limited quantity —
once these are gone, there are no more.
