Holy Bible
5B, Ca. 1885 R.R. Holy Bible with Apocrypha
Notes
The 1885 R.R. Holy Bible with Apocrypha is a significant edition of the Bible, published by the renowned Rivington & Co. in the late 19th century. This edition is notable for including the Apocrypha, a collection of ancient books with religious significance that are not part of the canonical Hebrew Bible. The 1885 publication reflects the Victorian era's interest in comprehensive biblical scholarship and provides valuable insight into the period's religious and cultural contexts. The inclusion of the Apocrypha highlights the broader spectrum of texts that influenced Christian thought and practice during that time.
