Others more correctly style it the 'second folio edition 1613 11' inasmuch as it deserves to be reckoned a distinct edition. The general title is usually dated 1613 though the NT title bears the date 1611" Herbert. Commonly known as the "Great She Bible" for the more correct reading "she went into the citie" in Ruth III. 15 and also for the remarkable error in Matthew XXVI. 36 leaf where "Judas" appears for "Jesus." Sometimes a correction slip is pasted over the mistake but in the present copy it is corrected in an early hand. "The King James Bible or the Authorized Version as it is now commonly but not strictly accurately known was the outcome of the conference summoned at Hampton Court by the King in January 1604 in an attempt to settle the quarrels in the Church of England arising from the Puritan zeal of some of its members. It was the leader of the Puritan party John Reynolds the President of Corpus Christi College Oxford who first suggested the idea of a new translation.It has been described as 'the only literary masterpiece ever to have been produced by a committee' and was the work of nearly fifty translators organized in six groups.Being based on a wider range of classical and oriental scholarship than its predecessors the Authorized Version was a more learned text.No new English translation was produced until the Revised Version of 1881 and the influence of the Authorized Version may best be described in the words of G.M. Trevelyan. 'For every Englishman who had read Sidney or Spenser or had seen Shakespeare acted at the Glove there were hundreds who had read or heard the Bible with close attention as the words of God. The effect of the continual domestic study of the book upon the national character imagination and intelligence for nearly three centuries to come was greater than that of any literary movement in our annals or any religious movement since the coming of St Augustine'" Printing and the Mind of Man 114 describing the 1611 first edition. "The translators were directed to take the rendering of the Bishops' Bible as their basis and were advised also to consult the following versions: Tyndale's Matthew's Coverdale's Whitchurch's i.e. the Great Bible and the Geneva" Herbert 309 describing the 1611 first edition. John Speed was granted a patent in 1610 for ten years to issue and insert his "Genealogies" and double-page general map engraved by Elstrack in every edition of this Bible. Darlow & Moule 246.

The Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures. Carefully translated according to the Masoretic Text on the Basis of the English Version after the best Jewish Authorities; and supplied with short Explanatory Notes. By Isaac Leeser. Hebrew "For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouth of his seed." Dent. xxxi 21. Philadelphia: Isaac Leeser 1853. First edition of the first complete translation of the Old Testament by a Jewish translator into English building upon Leeser's 1845 translation of the five books of the Pentateuch translation in 1845-1846. Folio 10 3/8 x 8 3/8 inches; 275 x 212 mm. Original full brown morocco. Boards ruled and elaborately stamped in gilt. Spine stamped and lettered in gilt. All edges marbled. Marbled endpapers. Binding with some restoration along joints and edges. A bit of foxing mainly to the preliminaries. Some occasional light dampstaining. Overall a very good copy. "Having published a five-volume Pentateuch-cum-haftarot lections from the Prophets translation in 1845-1846 as well as a complete vocalized and accentuated Hebrew Bible in 1848 the first such edition published in the U.S. he proceeded from April 1852 to September 1853 to extend his translation efforts to the entire Hebrew Bible. The result was his Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures the first translation of all of Tanakh into English by a Jew complete with short explanatory notes. Leeser explained in the preface to his magnum opus that he undertook the project in order to provide Anglophone Jewry with a vernacular version of the Bible "which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they can have no confidence" pp. iii-iv. The book achieved wide popularity among English-speaking Jews and even some Gentiles especially in America and went through multiple editions." Sotheby's "The translation of the Bible was Leeser's great literary achievement and represented many years of patient labor and devotion to a task which he considered sacred. Leeser was not fully equipped for this work for he was no specialist in Hebrew philology nor a master if Jewish learning in general and he was quite conscious of his shortcomings but he was inspired. He says in his preface: 'I thought in all due humility that I might safely go to task confidently relying upon that superior aid which is never withheld from the inquirer after truth.' He made good use of the various German translations by Jews of the collective commentary known as the Biur vol. III sec. 81 and of other Jewish exegetic works. As a result his translation though based in style upon the King James version can be considered an independent work for the changes he produced are numerous and great. His prime concern was to supply the traditional interpretation when necessary and the retention of the Jewish spirit at times even at the expense of beauty of style. The translation went through numerous editions and until the new Jewish Publication Society version was issued in 1917 it was the only source from which many Jews not conversant with Hebrew derived their knowledge of the Bible in accordance with Jewish tradition" Waxman History of Jewish Literature 1090.

Baldwin at 36s. each.Baldwin was offering copies at three guineas in sheets in 1771" Gaskell. "One of the most beautifully printed books in the world" Dibdin. This edition "has always been regarded as Baskerville's magnum opus and is his most magnificent as well as his most characteristic specimen" T.B. Reed A History of the Old English Letter Foundries p. 279. Gaskell declared that the title-page to the New Testament is "a perfect page of fine printing." Although the Baskerville Bible is now recognized as one of the greatest Bibles of all time it was initially a financial failure. Costing £2000 to print the remaining stock about half of the edition was remaindered five years after publication to a London bookseller. It was Baskerville's last great book. "Aesthetically the highest point in English Bible printing so far was John Baskerville's folio printed at Cambridge in 1763. To achieve his ambition to print a folio Bible Baskerville had to become University Printer on not very advantageous terms. The Bible uses his types paper and ink and shows his characteristic 'machine-made' finish: very smooth and even in colour and impression with glossy black ink on smooth paper. The design is traditional but the quality of material and workmanship is so high and the conventions are so delicately modified and consistently applied that the result is extremely impressive" The Cambridge History of the Bible: The West from the Reformation to the Present Day p. 464.
