Description
A very thin, opaque paper that is often used for printing bibles. Bible paper was produced in England starting in the 18th century from pulp made with rags and Hemp. It was initially called Oxford India because it was similar to the thin, lightweight paper made in China and imported to Europe by the Dutch East India Company. Bible paper has a basis weight of 20 pounds with approximately 1000 pages to an inch. It is used for printing thin paper editions such as bibles, encyclopedias, and reference books.
