Description

MATTHEW 4:1-6:6. “Beatitudes” (Ch 5). 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 less than FINE condition, due to the unrepaired torn corner affecting 5:16-17, 34-36 (see pics); light smudges to margins. Text contains popular themes: Temptations, Beatitudes, Fulfillment of the Law, A Higher Righteousness, and Love your Enemies. COA on premium “gold leaf” paper with signature and gold seal. This leaf sets in a museum quality Bi-fold Portfolio.
