  1. Thumb Bible

    A Thumb Bible is a paraphrased or abridged version of the Bible , printed in miniature and generally meant for children. They are also decorated with pictures. The first Thumb Bibles were published in the early seventeenth century, with several hundred different editions being printed in the subsequent three centuries.

It measured 3.3 by 2.7 cm 1.3 by 1.1 in and contained 128 pages of six lines. In 1614, John Taylor published his Verbum Sempiternum , which also summarised the Bible in verse form. These were designed to provide instruction to children who were not old enough to read the Bible itself. The first Thumb Bible in prose was published in London in 1727, under the title Biblia or a Practical Summary of ye Old & New Testaments . This contained 300 pages and measured 3.6 by 2.4 cm 1.4 by 0.9 in . The term Thumb Bible was first coined by Longman and Co. of London in the mid eighteenth century, when they used it on the title page of an edition in 1849, probably as a reference to the midget Tom Thumb General Tom Thumb Charles Stratton who had visited London with P. T. Barnum in 1844. Thumb Bibles continued to be printed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Approximately 300 different editions survive. As well as being published in English language English , versions were printed in French language French , German language German and Dutch language Dutch .
