Description

LEVITICUS 18:26-20:27. “Loving One’s Neighbor” (19:17-18). 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 second and also the last of its kind; after 1613, no other “He” editions were printed. Note: There are no other certain determinations of a “He” edition than the Ruth 3:15 citation and the block size, since textual indicators vary and are somewhat mixed, despite what some experts may say. The best indicator of a genuine 1613 “He” Bible, therefore, is the correct block size and the Ruth 3:15 citation together, in an original Bible that also appears to be original in all its parts, that is, with uniform pages throughout. Such a bible is the represented here, from which these leaves were taken. For scholarly reference, see Herbert’s Historical Catalogue of English Bibles.

This leaf cites the famous instruction for God’s people to “love your neighbor.” The leaf is in FINE condition; light smudges to margins; lower outer edge  a bit choppy (see pics). COA (with corrected verses) on premium “gold leaf” paper with signature and gold seal. This leaf sets in a museum quality Bi-fold Portfolio.
