Description
PHILIPPIANS 2:26-3:17. “Alien Righteousness” (3:9). King James, New Testament. Printed in London by Robert Barker, 1612. First Black Letter Small Quarto Edition, single column. This rare edition exactly duplicates the text of the 1611 folio “He” edition. 7.5″ x 5.5″. Herbert 318. FINE condition; light to moderate soiling (see pics). A very hard to find edition! COA on premium “gold leaf” paper w. gold seal. Note: See pictured colophon page d.1612, not included. An important text on our righteousness before God, that is, strictly speaking, not our own as if we ourselves have generated it but Christ’s; thus, an “alien righteousness” as Luther put it. Leaf and COA set in a museum-quality Bifold Portfolio, 12″ x 9″ closed.
