Description
It is now possible to own your very own piece of over 400 year old history by purchasing one of these 1611 King James Original Bible Leaves. A “Leaf” simply means a single “Page” from an ORIGINAL Antique King James Bible. These rare original 1611 bible leaves are a visual reminder of God's love and make for an unforgettable gift to the true King James Bible collector or enthusiast. These large portfolio leaves with archival booklets are sure to stand out in any home, office, church, or library. "Original" means exactly that, an actual 400+ year old Original 1611 Bible Leaf from an Original 1611 King James Bible!
Each 1611 King James Bible Leaf, comes from a large folio edition, about 15" x 10".. FIRST EDITION "She" variant, the editor's first correction of the 1611 "He" variant. Both variants are 59-line folios with interchangeable leaves, being nearly identical to each other, and differing only in some spellings and woodcuts. The "She" variant was likely published between 1611-1613. This variant, known affectionately as the "Queen" of 1611 leaves, is the same "edition" as the "He" variant, though some scholars like to separate them.
The leaves offered here are from the Old Testament, in fine or better condition, without stains or tears. Leaves come in either an Archival Sleeve with Certificate of Authenticity (should you like to have it framed), or in an Archival Booklet should you like to keep it as is. The Cambric linen fiber Archival Booklet contains a full sized Certificate of Authenticiy, with both leaf and COA protected in separate archival sleeves. All leaves are "random" and pre-selected.
Random Leaves
It is not possible to choose a specific bible verse or book at this time. But these "Random" (from the Old Testament) leaves are unconditionally guaranteed and archivally safe. Your specific Original 1611 Old Testament Leaf will be chosen at random by the Publisher, and is guaranteed to be in FINE condition. The Biblical text is wholly intact. These original 1611 leaves are generally clean and bright with wide margins, though some may have light indications of their age.
