  • Oppose A rare book, but there are issues with lighting and the angle of the photo. SpencerT♦C 20:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom, because, even if this isn't great (remember the Pieta a few weeks ago?), it's as good as an image of this Bible is ever going to get, as the photograph can not be retaken. St John Chrysostom Δόξατω Θεώ 19:18, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why can't it be retaken? There are several copies of this Bible in existence, some at universities. I don't imagine it would be that difficult to get access to at least one of them. Kaldari (talk) 17:21, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The rarity doesn't compensate for the low quality. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:51, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
