Item description from seller

. Your chance to own a complete Bible (apart from one leaf) printed only 27 years after the King James Version first came out - a huge one 15 inches tall, similar to the pictures you may have seen of original 1611 editions. Hinges and extremities have wear and tear, and clasps are missing. Early and late pages have furrows, perhaps suggesting moisture issues long ago. A few small holes to pages appear to have been caused by rust and therefore presumably contamination of the paper by specks of ferrous metal. There are no extra materials, apart from the translators' addresses to King James and to the reader at the front, and the Apocrypha located between the Old and New Testaments. No endpapers - inside of front cover has old stamps of Thomas Garbutt, Linen and Woollen Draper, Barnard Castle, likely from 100 or more years ago. The date of 1638 (which is printed on the NT title page) has also been added in an old but plain style in black pen at the bottom of the illustrated main title page, which is a bit worn and grubby. Page 611-612 (middle of Hosea) is missing, seeming at first glance not to have been present, but in fact some tiny fragments do appear at the spine. The last page of text is dilapidated but the text of it seems near complete. Some old repairs have been made to borders of pages by pasting on paper which mostly seems of a similar nature to the original, and in general, when doing this, care seems to have been taken not to obscure the text. The exterior is not elaborate, but has a 3 inch long rhombus shaped area of gilt decoration to the middle of each of the two boards; there is no lettering or decoration to the spine. There are pictorial drop initials at the beginning of each book of the Bible and Apocrypha. This specific printing is said to have remained the standard text until the printing of Dr Paris' Cambridge edition of 1762. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.…
