Acknowledgements

We’re all very grateful that after disgracing John Wycliffe and brutally executing William Tyndale, England finally got a king who would authorise a quality Bible translation. This was the printed book that had more influence on our modern world than any other, and remains a world-wide best-selling publication. Thanks to eBible.org for supplying the USFM files.

Notes

Note that after the publication of Samuel Johnson’s dictionary in 1755, the 1769 editions of the KJV are very different from the 1611 edition, including major typographic and formatting changes, and major spelling changes (including gaining the letter ‘j’), as well as hundreds of corrections. There are also some verse number changes and some changes to the italicised words, and the marginal notes from 1611 were removed. (There’s a lot of information online, but you can start by reading more details here.)

Also note that the apocryphal books were officially removed later in 1885, leaving only 66 ‘books’. (The marginal footnotes in all books were also removed.)
