Description

King of England and Ireland (1566–1625) under whom the 'Golden Age' of Elizabethan literature and drama continued, and who famously sponsored the translation of the Bible into English; as King James VI, he ruled Scotland from 1567 until his death. Vellum manuscript DS, signed “James R,” one page, 12.5 x 11.5, circa 1611. An untranslated official document, crisply signed at the head in ink by King James I. In fine condition.

Provenance: The Collection of Autograph Letters and Historical Documents formed by Emil and Alphons Freiherrn von Pawel-Rammingen, accompanied by the original folder.


From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
