The King James Bible (1611) and early bibles (full discussion)

Early bibles in Wadham Library's collection, with a particular focus on the King James Bible (1611), are discussed by Helen Moore, Fellow in English at Corpus Christi, Oxford, and Gordon Campbell, Fellow in Renaissance Studies at the University of Leicester. Focusing on the title page illustration, Helen and Gordon discuss what made this 'authorised' version of the bible so different from its predecessors.
