A special Bible for collectors, for students, and for everyone who cherishes
the King James Version.
For nearly 400 years, the Authorized Version of the Bible—popularly known as the
King James Version—has been beloved for its majestic phrasing and stately
cadences. No other book has so profoundly influenced our language and our
theology.
Over time, however, the text has suffered subtle and occasionally troublesome
alterations. This attractive edition preserves the original 1611 edition. Word
for word and page for page, the text with its original marginal notes, preface
(“The Translators to the Reader”), and other introductory material appear as
they first did. The sole concession to modernity is the far more readable roman
typeface set by nineteenth-century master printers.
Elegantly bound with old-world quality craftsmanship, this is the perfect
edition of the incomparable King James Version for study and for sheer
enjoyment.
- The only word-for-word facsimile of the original 1611 Authorized Version on the
market
- Handsome page design with clearer modern type and decorative initials is
convenient to read and reference
- The text is complete with the Apocrypha, plus the original preface and
translators’ notes.
- Alfred Pollard’s classic essay on pre-1611 English
translations and the history of the Authorized Version is also included
- Attractive binding in all editions—raised hubs, gilding, and one ribbon
marker—creates an heirloom-quality volume.
