The new Allan 63 Longprimer Sovereign London Tan Limited Edition commemorates the richly intertwined history of St Paul's Cathedral and the historic publication of Tyndale's New Testament 500 years ago in 1526.   

Bound in a rich honeyed tan highland goatskin, leather-lined in a gorgeous pale coffee-coloured liner with matching topper, this unique Bible also features red under gold page edges, gold embossing on front and spine and double gold gilt lines inside, three light caramel ribbon markers, presentation pages and family record in Allan's design, dictionary of proper names, subject index, concordance, 32 pages of lined writing paper and 16 pages of Oxford Bible maps.

Each copy includes a limited edition print of a specially commissioned watercolour entitled 'St Paul's Cathedral, City of London' painted from Ludgate Hill by artist John Walsom, a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.

First printed in 1952, the King James Version Longprimer Bible is a sumptuous, traditional reference setting of the Authorized Version. Developed by Oxford University Press and now published exclusively by R. L. Allan, it has for many years been our flagship Bible, renowned the world over for its clarity of type and our beautiful bindings.

The Longprimer Sovereign edition retains the same clear type as the standard Longprimer but is printed on a 40gsm writable Bible paper with the highest levels of opacity, and increased margins (one inch on outside and bottom edges) to show the text block off to greatest effect and further enhance the reading experience.

Printed on best quality, highly opaque 40gsm writable India Paper * Large, clear black letter type * 100,000 centre column chain references with dates above * Three light caramel ribbon markers * Red under gold page edges * 16 pages of full colour Oxford Bible maps * Concordance, subject index and dictionary of proper names * Exclusively available in Allan's fine leather bindings.
