With "she" in Ruth 3:15. "Fry's 'first edition, second issue, without reprints,' of King James's Bible. Others more correctly style it the 'second folio edition, 1613, 11,' inasmuch as it deserves to be reckoned a distinct edition . . . Commonly known as the 'Great She Bible.' Probably the greater part of the book was printed in 1611, but the publication, for some reason or other, was delayed till 1613"--Herbert 319. Pforzheimer 63; STC 2224. In this copy the misprint "Judas" for "Jesus" in Matthew 26:36 has been corrected in ink. Bound with undated edition of Speed's Genealogies (STC 23039.2), lacking the map.
