Antique Beirut Arabic Bible
Late 19th Century (c. 1877–1882)
A remarkable late nineteenth-century Arabic Bible produced in Beirut, representing one of the earliest generations of the renowned Jesuit Arabic translation of the Holy Scriptures.
The opening pages bear ecclesiastical approvals issued by senior Christian patriarchs, including the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Vincentius Bracco, dated 12 November 1876, with additional approvals dated 1877. These establish the earliest known period in which this volume could have been printed, placing it among the formative years of this influential Arabic Bible.
Printed in elegant Arabic type with decorative borders throughout, this substantial volume reflects the craftsmanship of nineteenth-century Middle Eastern biblical publishing. It remains in original antique condition, displaying age-related foxing and wear consistent with its history and preservation.
A scarce and historically significant work for collectors of rare Bibles, Middle Eastern printing, and Christian heritage.
Estimated Date: c. 1877–1882
Language: Arabic
Place of Publication: Beirut, Lebanon
