1911 ANTIQUE BIBLE

In 2011, I was wondering from Prague to Budapest. On the way out of town I came across this small antique shop. This is where I found this small Bible. I had to have it.

When I showed it to one of my friends, I was told the language on the pages is German.

Please check the photos for acceptability.

It is made out of a soft leather, light in color. You can see where the strap has darkened the color. It is in good condition and considered a fantastic collectible or gift for anyone who enjoys collecting Bibles and has a flair for eastern Europe. In looking at the outside, it has normal wear and appears to have darkened in some areas.

All the pages look good.

For me, I wanted it because I wondered who it belonged to and I was really glad to own it.

I would like to see this book go to someone who can give it a good home. I do sell a lot of items on . Every now and then, one really catches my attention. Such is the case with this little mighty book!

Compiled and Edited Internet Research About Budapest

Budapest first appeared on the world map when the Romans founded the town of Aquincum around 89 AD, in what is today Óbuda. It soon became the capital of the province of Lower Pannonia, and the Romans even founded a proto-Pest known as Contra Aquincum on the other side of the river.

The Romans were replaced around 900 by the Magyars, who went on to found the kingdom of Hungary (Magyar Királyság). The Mongols dropped in uninvited in 1241, but the Magyars bounced back and built the Royal Castle, which still dominates Buda, in 1427.

In 1541, Buda and Pest fell to the Ottomans and stayed in the hands of the Turks until 1686, when the Austrian Habsburgs conquered the town. Now at peace, both sides of the river boomed, and after an abortive Hungarian revolution in 1848–49, the great Compromise of 1867 made Budapest the united capital of the Hungarian half of the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary.

Budapest emerged from World War I battered but now the capital of an independent Hungary. Its population reached one million in 1930. Air raids and a terrible three-month siege towards the end of World War II resulted in the death over 38,000 civilians, and up to 40% of Budapest's Jewish community were murdered during the Holocaust. A total of 400,000 Jews in the area were murdered by the Nazis and their Nyilas sympathizers. Various people helped members of the local Jewish community including Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish humanitarian sent to Hungary under a diplomatic cover, who tried to make a difference by distributing Swedish passports to as many Jews as possible, and the Italian Giorgio Perlasca, that, pretending to be a Spanish diplomat, rescued a good share of Budapest's Jewish community.
