A page-for-page return to the 1611 King James Bible

This anniversary edition reproduces the 1611 King James Bible’s text page for page and line for line, retaining even the original misprints. It presents the text in a roman font rather than the early edition’s black-letter type, while restoring the chapter-opening capital letters and their pictorial designs. The volume also includes the original edition’s preliminary material, including genealogies, maps, and reading lists. Gordon Campbell’s concluding essay examines the first edition, adding historical context to a volume organized around the text and features of the 1611 publication.

  • Readers interested in the history and presentation of the King James Bible.
  • Collectors and researchers seeking a reproduction of the 1611 edition’s text and preliminary material.

Book overview

This 400th anniversary edition of the King James Version of the Bible is a reprint of the 1611 text, in an easy-to-read roman font instead of the black-letter type of the original. The original capital letters, many of which are pictorial, have been restored to each chapter in order to replicate the visual appeal of the early editions.
The 1611 text is followed page-for-page and line-for-line, and all misprints are reproduced rather than corrected. The large body of preliminary matter, which includes genealogies, maps, and lists of readings, is also included. The text of the 1611 edition differs from modern editions of the King James Version in thousands of details, and this edition is the most authentic version of the original text that has ever been published.
The volume concludes with an essay by Gordon Campbell on the first edition of the King James Bible.
