Abstract
This image is from a collection created by Etta Hanson and given to the College in 1954. All items are from Otto Ege's estate. The leaf was contained and mounted in a mat created by Otto Ege, as were all other leaves in this collection. There is a typed description at the bottom of the mat, which reads: "Excudebat Isaias Thomas. Jun: Wigorniae, Massachusettensi. The earliest Greek Testament printed in America. the Worchester Press also produced some of the early American editions of the English Bible. Franklin called it the “Baskerville (Press) of America.” This Testament was reprinted by the same printer in Boston (1814). (Darlow and Moule 4775)"
