AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A remarkable large-folio King James Bible printed in London in 1701 by Charles Bill and the Executrix of Thomas Newcomb, Printers to the King's Most Excellent Majesty.

This is Volume II only of the original two-volume edition, an important distinction for collectors. The volume begins with the Book of Proverbs and includes the complete Apocrypha and the complete New Testament.

The volume retains its attractive antique black leather binding, decorated with elaborate gilt tooling and ornamental borders. The interior is red-ruled throughout, a distinctive feature of this edition. Engraved illustrations and decorative initials contribute to its visual appeal.
