First Edition King James Bible 1611 The Great She Bible Rare True 1st Ed    First Edition King James Bible 1611 The Great She Bible Rare True 1st Ed
[FIRST EDITION OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE - THE GREAT SHE BIBLE]. THE FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VERSION OF THE BIBLE IN ENGLISH - ONE OF THE MONUMENTAL WORKS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE. This is the true 1st edition published from 1611 to 1613. This is the second state with the misprint in Ruth 3:15 corrected from "he" to "she". Folio edition, measuring 15.25 x 10.5 inches.

The New Testament is dated 1611 and the general titlepage is dated 1613. Scholars believe most of the book was printed in 1611 but not bound and released until 1613.

There are two versions: the "Great He" Bible and the "Great She" Bible depending on whether the misprint in Ruth is present. Printing and the Mind of Man #114. General title page heavily chipped, repaired with loss to the bottom right quarter of the page. Although this copy offered here has the Genealogies, it does not contain the map. The map is seldom present and some scholars question whether it should truly be considered part of the book or seen as a later add-on.

Minor wear and spotting thoughout with some heavy staining at the beginning. Some leaves particularly stained include LI3-6, Mmm2 and R4 & 5 in the NT. Some marginal repair from Hebrews to the end of the NT with the final leaf of Revelation present in facsimile. Recently restored with a full leather binding and custom protective clamshell box. The King James Bible is the first official English translation of the scriptures.

When King James took the English throne, multiple English translations were used by the Church of England. Recognizing the disunity which this caused, he appointed a group of the day's top scholars to produce an Authorized Version of the Bible. The King James Version (KJV), as it came to be known, is not only one of the most widely used versions of the Bible but also contains some of the most famous and beautiful prose in the English language. It is the basis for many commonly used phrases (such as "In the beginning", "do onto others" etc) and widely known verses such as the 23rd Psalm The Lord is my Shepherd... The exact number of first edition KJV's published is unknown but bibliographers believe there are fewer than 200 copies extant today.
