Ink & Blood at the Florida Internation Museum



This weekend I went to Ink & Blood, a rather good exhibit on the history of the English language Bible currently residing here in St. Pete. You can read in the link all about the important historical relics contained in the exhibit, but my favorite is one they haven't been promoting all that much. At the very end of the exhibit, literally hidden behind a copy of the "Great" King James Bible ("He" edition) is the "Wicked Bible." If you've read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett you may remember this particular misprint edition from 1631. Of course they have it open to the offending page.
