The King James Bible,1611 Edition, Leather Bound Deluxe Limited Edition of Only 400 Easton Press [Sealed]. The Easton Press, 2011. Norwalk, CT. THE KING JAMES BIBLE (The Classic 1611 Edition). 1,496 pages. The 400th anniversary edition of The Holy Bible, this deluxe limited edition of just 400 hand-numbered copies is a rare reproduction of the original 1611 text, not to be confused with the 1769 Oxford edition that has become the "standard" text. Fashioned to symbolize the authority of God's holy Word, this folio-sized volume (10 1/4" x 15 1/2") was designed to be displayed for public viewing upon church pulpits and used by ministers during sacred services. Every detail of the Classic 1611 Edition has been faithfully reproduced. Includes all the classic Easton Press qualities:   * Premium Leather * Silk Moire Endleaves * Distinctive Cover Design * Hubbed Spine, Accented in Real 22KT Gold * Satin Ribbon Page Marker * Gilded Page Edges * Long-lasting, High Quality Acid-neutral Paper * Smyth-sewn Pages for Strength and Durability * Beautiful Illustrations     This hard-to-find 1611 Edition features:
 ·    The original spelling, punctuation and word choices. If you are a fan of concordances, you know that a simple change in translated word choice from the original Hebrew or Aramaic can completely alter the meaning of a passage. Thus, the unadulterated 1611 text is a fabulous resource for deepening one's understanding of scripture. ·     The original layout, including beautiful, historiated initial letters and decorative title pages. ·    All of the elements found in the original 1611 King James text, including the dedication to King James I, an essay by the translators, the books of Biblical Apocrypha which was first published in Luther's Bible of 1534, and the Complete Biblical Genealogy. ·    An elegant, custom-crafted slipcase for preservation and display. ·     The classic Easton Press features of the highest quality: genuine high-quality leather; 22kt gold accents, deeply inlaid on the "hubbed" spine; gilded page ends; silk moire endsheets; Smyth-sewn, acid-neutral pages.   Please consider downloading our free mobile app available on iOS and Android: House of Craven.   Have a similar item to sell?
