See you soon!

Technically, not Americana but will sneak this into my booth for its amazing provenance. This 1677 New Testament has been passed down through several generations of the Wigglesworth family, beginning with Edward Wigglesworth (1692–1765), the first holder of the Harvard Hollis Chair—the earliest professorship of divinity established in the American colonies. Compendium Graecum Novi Testamenti by Johanne Leusden, traces a remarkable family lineage: from Edward to his son Thomas Wigglesworth (1775–1855), then to Thomas’s son Thomas Wigglesworth (1814–1907), and finally to his nephew Edward Wigglesworth (1840–1896), the great-grandson of the original Edward. Edward Michael Wigglesworth (1692–1765), son of Puritan minister and poet Michael Wigglesworth (1631–1705) and Sybil Avery Sparhawk (1655–1708)
