Cambridge’s Pitt Bibles were originally launched in the 1930s, in the wake of the typographic revival which took place in England after the First World War. They were notable for their slimness – achieved by using a typeface specially cut by the famous Times typographer Stanley Morison for Cambridge University Press.
The Pitt Minion Reference Edition was also the first Bible to employ the innovative Cambridge bold-figure cross-reference system. All in all, it is a neat and elegant book, easy to slip into a pocket or handbag.
