Additional information
A scholarly edition of the 1611 King James version of the four Gospels, giving these famous religious texts the kind of treatment that a play by Shakespeare would receive. An Introduction, of c.15,000 words, includes an account of the publication history of the King James Bible, a 'Note on the Text' explains how the text has been edited, emended and partially modernized, and about 100 pages of Explanatory Notes and Glossaries provide information to help modern readers understand the first-century context within which the Gospels were written, and to clarify difficulties in the seventeenth-century language of the King James text.
