Microscopic Bible Owned by Monticello Woman
Mrs. Fred G. Matthiessen of Monticello owns a microscopic Bible with 876 pages measuring 1 3/4 by 1 1/4 inches. The print is hard to read even with a magnifier and illustrations are invisible to the naked eye. The tiny book was printed by David Bryce & Sons in Glasgow, Scotland and has been in her possession for over twenty years. The piece is described as valuable far beyond its weight in gold and prompts inquiry into other similar rare books.
