18th Century Bible with silver fittings and locks. The silver fittings and locks were made by the silversmith Hendrik Pieter Kremer from Groningen. He worked from 1807 to 1832. He was born in 1767.

The Bible dates from 1795. The date on the second page is: 1791. The Psalms date from: 1794.

The mutineers and the appendages depict the four virtues:

  1. Caritas (Love or charity)
  2. Prudence (Caution)
  3. Fortitudo (Fortitude)
  4. Justitia (Justice)

The clamps depict the two virtues: Sapientia (Wisdom) and Fortuna (Happiness).

The Bible is hallmarked with the HPK master stamp and a crowned o tax stamp. Because only the master stamp was struck, this means the Bible was sold outside the city of Groningen.

The silver fittings in the Empire style are still in excellent condition

The Bible is in good used condition.

Weight: 676.4 grams. Dimensions: 9 x 15 x 6 cm.
