Fourth edition of the King James Bible, arguably the most important book ever published in English. Very rare. Preparation of the Royal Version took more than 5 years and was laboriously attended to by over 50 translators and researchers. Although this version appropriates much from the Tyndale, Coverdale, Geneva and Bishops' Bibles, it is unquestionably regarded as the greatest literary translation of the Bible ever produced.
