The King James version, or the "Authorized" version of the English Bible
was made by a team of translators appointed by James I. It was first published
in this edition of 1611 and remained the standard English Bible until the
nineteenth century. This copy, with a contemporary English binding, is one of
the treasures of the Burke Library's Thompson Collection.
