Description

This copy of the King James Bible is a large folio lectern Bible printed in 1617 by Robert Barker in London, the third unrevised edition of the 1611 first printing. Thus this copy is essentially what a first edition looks like. This printing is called a "She" Bible because of the "she" instead of the "he" reading in Ruth 3:15.
