    I just came into possession of this old guy this month. I know very little about old books but from what I can tell, this looks to me like it is from the 1700s. Here's why I think this:

    1. It appears to be hand made from the way the leather was cut and bound.
    2. The "s" in the script looks like an "f". This practice was stopped sometime around the turn of the 19th century.

    It is New Testament only. No copyright page.
