The Holy Bible (King James Version, 'He' Bible)

There is no UK-versus-US or original-language precedence question: London: Robert Barker, 1611 is the only original, the work being the translation made by the companies appointed by King James I. Both 1611 folios are collected and both should be named: the 'He' Bible (Herbert 309) has priority, and the 'She' Bible follows as the second issue — a wholly reset setting rather than a reissue of the 'He' sheets. Complete copies are uncommon and made-up copies are closer to the norm than the exception; the Bonhams copy examined for this entry lacked the 18 preliminary leaves before Genesis and 43 leaves at the close, which is the usual pattern of loss at the extremities. Expect supplied or facsimile leaves, and check the engraved Boel title first.
