""The Oldest Type-Printed Book In Existence: A Disquisition On The Relative Antiquity Of The Pfister And Mazarin Bibles"" is a book written by George Washington Moon in 1901. The book discusses the two oldest type-printed bibles in existence - the Pfister Bible and the Mazarin Bible - and compares their relative antiquity. Moon provides a detailed analysis of the history, typography, and provenance of both bibles, tracing their origins back to the 15th century. He also examines the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the Pfister Bible and argues that it is, in fact, the older of the two. The book includes illustrations and facsimiles of pages from both bibles, as well as a bibliography and index. Overall, ""The Oldest Type-Printed Book In Existence"" is a valuable resource for scholars and collectors interested in the history of printing and the early development of the printed book.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
