Some loose paper at the back of the Bible contains notes from an HSP employee about the actual printing of the Bible. Type sizes vary across sections, there are various engravings, and the front cover of the volume is cracked. The apparent owner of the Bible, Jacob Kimmel, seems to have been born in September 1757.
