The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into English preceding the King James Version by 51 years. It was the primary Bible of 16th-century English Protestantism and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare and Oliver Cromwell. It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the Mayflower. This version of the Bible is significant because for the very first time a mechanically printed mass-produced Bible was made available directly to the general public which came with a variety of scriptural study guides and aids collectively called an apparatus which included verse citations that allow the reader to cross-reference one verse with numerous relevant verses in the rest of the Bible introductions to each book of the Bible that acted to summarize all of the material that each book would cover maps tables woodcut illustrations and indices. The annotations which are an important part of the Geneva Bible were Calvinist and Puritan in character and as such they were disliked by the ruling pro-government Anglicans of the Church of England as well as King James I who commissioned the "Authorized Version" or King James Bible in order to replace it. Surprisingly the Geneva notes were included in a few editions of the King James version even as late as 1715. unknown books

16764Leaf from a First Edition 1611 King James Bible 4th issue 1634 59 line pulpit folio leave The Leaf is an authentic original rag cotton Leaf from the first edition of King James Bible. It is large folio size and measures 11" wide x 16-1/2" tall. There were five separate issues of the 1611 printing in total; 1611 1613 1617 1634 and 1640/39. When King James authorized this large pulpit folio to be printed Richard Barker did so by facilitating 5 separate printing presses working tirelessly for two years. By 1611 the pages of several thousand copies were printed and ready to be bound and issued to the churches of England. It is estimated that in 1611 roughly 300 Authorized Bibles were issued to the churches. The remainder of the printed pages were stored away until the next issue was decreed by the king of England. Over the next two years this Bible was read in the churches and small errors began to be discovered. The most famous of these misprints is Ruth 3:15. In 1611 this verse was printed as "he" went into the city when the correct translation should read "she" went into the city. Thus naming the first edition-first issue of the King James Bible in 1611 as the Great "He" Bible. As these misprints were discovered these specific leaves and only these leaves were re-printed and then bound with the other leaves originally printed in 1611. These were then issued at the next decree of the king. The next issue was in 1613. At this point several of the known misprints were corrected along with Ruth 3:15 being changed to "she" thus the second issue was named the Great "She" Bible in 1613. Over the course of the next 29 years there were five pulpit folios issued to the churches with the majority of the leaves being printed originally in 1611 and with each issue small errors were fixed and these pages were reprinted. In the 4th and 5th issues 1634 and 1640 the text layout stayed exactly the same but with a larger number of small changes made to the marginal notes which suggests a larger reprinting done in the latter years. Finally in 1640 the 5th and last issue was released concluding the legacy of the 1611 printed folios. These misprints corrections and small changes will clearly define the different issue dates of the 1611 King James Bible. unknown books
