About This Item
128 printed pages. 8vo. Title page with printers device border. Lacks pages 49-50, 63-66, and 79-80. Printed in Finnish. A miniature prayer book of some rarity. The university press of Turku was the most important centre of printing in Finland until the destruction of the university during the Great Fire of Turku (1827), which saw the institution relocate to the modern capital of Finland, Helsinki, with the 483 surviving volumes. Hand-made rag paper (title-page with ink offset from contemporary owner's stamp, and grubby; thumbed and with a number of smaller stains; some top corners slightly creased). Some leaves untrimmed. Contemporary owner's purple ink stamp on front paste-down endpaper, J.G.Johansson (no further information). 47 x 60mm. Contemporary parchment covered boards, rebacked with plain brown calf spine with two raised bands. Thin sandy boards profoundly and richly patinated with deep chocolate swirls from repeated handling. No copy found anywhere in commerce, nor in any reference book on miniature books nor in any library in the world. Only known copy of possibly the earliest miniature book printed in Finland. The earliest book printed in Turku was published in 1658 and the National Library of Finland only lists 38 full-size publications in this city ever having been printed in or before 1825. No OCLC number. Not found in National Library of Finland. Not in WorldCat. WorldCat locates 0 copies worldwide.

About Camden Lock Books, ABA, IOBA.
My online bookselling is Camden Lock books. I own Camden Lock Books & list books that are uncommon, in demand and may be hard to find.
My book expertise came with four years as Chairman of London P.B.F.A. , many more years of exhibiting at monthly London Rare Book Fairs & owning my own bookshops continuously since 1984.
Every book here was valued by the person who first bought it and will be just as prized by the person who buys it now from my shopping website.
I am an accredited professional & a full member of the ABA, ILAB and the IOBA, "Setting the standard. The books you want...from booksellers you can trust".
You can meet me on my stand at Firsts 2024, London's Rare Book Fair, at the Saatchi Gallery, London SW3 4RY, 16-19 May 2024.
I also am joint owner of Burley Fisher Books , an independent bookshop offering new and secondhand books.
