Description

JOHN 3:13-5:10. “Saving Faith”. King James “He” Bible. Printed in London by Robert Barker, 1613. First Quarto Black Letter Edition. Overall size: 8.6″ x 6.25″. Reference: Herbert 323 (text block 199mm x 138mm), the “He” edition, containing the original error in Ruth 3:15 “he went into the citie” and according to Herbert a “close reprint” of the 1611 folio “He” first edition, first issue. This 1613 “He” edition is the last of its kind; after 1613, no other “He” editions were printed. Hence the relative rarity of this edition  Note: The best indicator of a genuine 1613 “He” Bible is the correct block size (under 200mm tall), the Ruth 3:15 citation, and uniform pages throughout. For scholarly reference, see Herbert’s Historical Catalogue of English Bibles. See also David Norton’s A Textual History of the King James Bible.

Leaf is in FINE condition overall; light smudges to margins (see pics). John 3:16 is surely the most beloved verse in the New Testament! Note that the word “so” in the older KJV English translates a Greek word that nowadays means “in this way” as in the phrase “just like this.” The verse thus indicates how God loved the world rather than peering into his inner disposition. COA on premium “gold leaf” paper with signature and gold seal. This leaf sets in a museum quality Bi-fold Portfolio.
