The Pirate's Bible

In a small room in the rafters of a big Library rests a Bible that was printed hundreds of years ago in Germantown, Pennsylvania. The type face used was sent from Germany. It came from Martin Luther himself. In gratitude for access to the precious type the printer sent six Bibles back to Germany for Martin Luther. But on the way the ship was waylaid by pirates who ransacked it of all of its treasure and sank it. Over the centuries the Bibles ended up at various royal courts in Europe until, finally, one came back to Pennsylvania, to 1901 Vine Street not to far from where it was printed to live on a shelf in a small room up in the rafters of the big Library.
