A 400 year old Bible has been found in a box at the bottom of a cupboard in Palmerston North.
The Bible, now fully restored, will be dedicated at a special service at St Peter’s Anglican Church this Sunday before being put on permanent display.
Anthony Tedeschi, who curates rare books at the Dunedin City Library believes it is the only 1616 King James Bible in the southern hemisphere, and one of only a few left in the world.
