Damp Staining, foxing, smudging in places throughout, sometimes rather heavy. All in all a pretty good and complete (!) copy (all original pages, no facsimile pages). Half-leather deluxe clamshell provided as well ($1500 value).A complete copy of the second folio edition of the King James Bible, known as the "Great She Bible"—named for the more correct reading of "she went into the citie" in Ruth 3:15 (following the Latin Vulgate). Herbert notes, "The general title is usually dated 1613, though the NT title bears the date 1611. Presumably the greater part of the book was printed in 1611, but the publication, for some reason or other, was delayed till 1613." Complete copies of the Great She Bible are highly desirable and uncommon. John Speed's map of Canaan is frequently defective or missing in copies of this edition (present here, with blemish).
