Miniature Bible the Size of a Coin Found in UK Library Storage

A miniature Bible surfaced in the vast Leeds library during lockdown. The tiny holy book includes both old and new testaments and was printed on 876 stamp-sized pages. However, nobody knows where this miniature Bible treasure came from.

Measuring only 1.9 inches (50 millimeters) by 1.3 inches (35 millimeters), about the size of a US quarter or a UK two pound coin, the bible was printed in 1911. Featuring 876 gossamer-thin Indian paper pages with both testaments, the bible was rediscovered in 2021 during Covid-19 lockdowns at the Leeds Central Library, located in the largest city in the county of West Yorkshire, England. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Rhian Isaac, special collections senior librarian at the Leeds Central Library, said nobody is sure where the book came from: “it’s a bit of a mystery, really.”
