Description: Thumb bibles are a previously unexplored genre of miniature books. This study examines them from a theological, literary, book-historical and pious perspective.
Review Quotes: "Thumb Bibles is a thorough study of the origins, evolution, and decline of an interesting genre that has been underrepresented in scholarly work thus far. The book is richly illustrated with over 170 images that, as was the case in Thumb Bibles for children, not only illuminate the text but also add to the experience of reading this book."
