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 a 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 Authorized or King James Version is the most
influential English Bible in history. This facsimile is a
word-for-word, letter-for-letter reproduction of the
original 1611 edition, set in readable type and is a
valuable and essential addition to every Bible library.”
—John R. Kohlenberger III, author or co-editor of more
than three dozen biblical reference books and study Bibles
