A Curious Hieroglyphic Bible by Isaiah Thomas
or, Select Passages in the Old and New Testaments, Represented with Emblematical Figures, for the Amusement of Youth
This early 19th-century publication is a unique take on the traditional Bible, aimed at engaging children with Scripture through the use of hieroglyphics, or small pictures, that represent words or phrases. Each passage of biblical text is accompanied by these illustrative symbols, intended to help young readers better understand and remember the stories and moral lessons of the Bible. It serves both as an educational tool and a novel approach to religious instruction, reflecting the pedagogical and religious values of its time.
