JOHN 18:25-20:14. “King of the Jews”. Geneva Bible. Printed in London by Christopher Barker, 1576. First folio printed in England, 10.15″ x 6.75″ w. copious marginal notes from a Reformed perspective. Roman type. Reference: Herbert 143. FINE condition overall. Thin stain to upper edge, small dark stain to lower corner, two small holes at bottom corner (see pics). COA on premium “gold leaf” paper w. gold seal. Text recounts the trial of Jesus before Pilate, regarding the meaning of kingship. The “title” placed on the cross (19:19) exists to this day in Rome (the middle third, that is.
