FAQ
Posted by kimc on March 11th, 2008
- Can I request a specific passage of Scripture?
Due to the very limited supply, we can’t fill requests except for our custom orders. These pages come from Bible fragments rather than complete Bibles so there’s no telling exactly what we will have. But whatever book of the Bible it may have come from, we think you will agree that it’s amazing to be able to hold a page like this!
- Where do you get the pages?
Pages like ours come from broken Bibles. These are books that have become too damaged over the centuries to retain their value as collectors’ items. Instead, the salvageable portions are preserved as fragments - collections of leaves or individual leaves. These may be used to repair other incomplete Bibles, or individually preserved as ours are.
- How can these pages last for 400 years?
Until recently, paper was often made of cotton, linen or even animal skin (known as vellum). The cotton rag from which our Bible pages were made was naturally acid free and durable. It was made to last for centuries, and often did just that.
- Are these the same framed pages sold by Vision Forum?
Yes, we supply the framed Geneva Bible pages for Vision Forum, with one small difference: the pages we sell to Vision Forum have a solid black mat behind them, while the ones we sell on our website have a narrow margin of clear glass around the page.
- Do I need a Paypal account to make a purchase?
Although your payment will be processed by Paypal, you do not need a Paypal account. You can pay with any Visa or Mastercard.
- I have another question that wasn’t answered here.
