Matthew's Bible: a facsimile of the 1537

---

The leather on this bible is really unusual. It is thin but tough, strong and stiff and yet takes bending well. It has a synthetic feel to it, although it is genuine leather. This vexed me for a while. So I asked an experienced leather furniture upholsterer for his opinion. He too was puzzled. It does not not look like the usual cow leather. Perhaps from the belly or the neck of a cow. Quite possibly from a goat, as goats have very smooth thin hides, and they are very common in rural China. Leather is not necessarily from a cow, he added. It can be from an elephant (Thailand), camel, horse, buffalo, llama, or whatever is the predominant animal in the area..
