Printed in two columns, in black letter. Two elaborate historiated title-pages; calendar printed in red & black; 16 (of 18) leaves of genealogies; double-page woodcut map; numerous woodcut initials. (folio) 38.7x26 cm. (15¼x10¼), period calf tooled in blind, rebacked with modern calf, new endpapers and flyleaves.

Handsome example of the third large folio edition of the King James Bible, a fine example of black letter printing on thick paper, an exceptionally nice copy. This copy is textually complete, and includes the rare map. It is missing only two leaves of "The Genealogies recorded in the Sacred Scriptures..." Both the map and the genealogies were optional for purchase and are often not present. A rare, textually complete copy with the map, seldom found thus. Herbert 353.
