FDR’s Bible
On March 4, 1933, FDR took the oath of office as President of the United States on this Roosevelt family Bible—opened to a verse in St. Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians: “And now abideth faith, hope, and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” Roosevelt used this Bible at all four of his presidential inaugurations. It was printed in Amsterdam in 1686 and is the oldest of the known presidential inaugural Bibles. It is also the only extant inaugural Bible in a modern foreign language: https://fdr.artifacts.archives.gov/objects/1676/roosevelt-family-dutch-bible
