London: Robert Barker, c. 1613. Edition: “True 1613 edition of King James’ Bible” (Herbert , Binding: Contemporary early 17th-century boards, skillfully rebacked in ¼ pigskin, spine in six compartments of raised bands, gilt text on two and six, endpapers renewed. , Notes: TRUE 1613 EDITION OF KING JAMES’ BIBLE.
The leaves are not numbered, text is printed in double columns, with 72 lines to the full column. “Headlines, chapter contents, marginal references, and words not in the original, are printed in roman type; alternative and other renderings, and a very few notes, in the margins, are in italics. The whole printed page is enclosed within rules” (Herbert 309, same as 322).
“The true 1613 edition of King James’ Bible; easily distinguishable from the other large folio editions by its smaller type…. The text is printed in smaller type with 72 instead of 59 lines to the full column, [as in the other large folio editions]” (Herbert 322). Herbert indicates that in this text, “variations occur in about 400 places, and involve many serious mistakes, e.g. vv. 13 and 14 omitted in [Ecclesiastes] xvi” (322).
Other interesting notes include: Ruth iii. 15 is written as “she”, as indicated in Herbert’s entry for the second folio edition of the King James Bible. However, the woodblock initial “P” in Psalms cxii. does not contain the Walsingham crest.
