Curious Vulgate edition by Sixtus V among rare books
The article notes an edition of the Vulgate issued by Pope Sixtus V between 1585 and 1590 that is highly prized by collectors. Described by Disraeli as “swarmed with errata,” many copies were patched with paper slips, but the defects led to destruction of numerous copies. Only a few remain, making the book with patches extremely valuable. The text also mentions Rice as a chief diet article for over 250 million in British India and a Canadas teacher figure of 18 042 in the minion of Caneds.
