GREATSITE.COM Presents  King James Bible The Holy Bible. Cambridge: Bentham, 1762. Stout small folio, 11.25 x 9 x 4.5 inches. Complete. With engraved frontispiece. This is the hugely significant recension of the King James Version text by Dr. F. S. Paris, of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and H. Therold, fellow of Magdalene. “In this Bible a serious attempt was made to correct the text of King James’ version by amending the spelling and punctuation, unifying and extending the use of italics, and removing printers’ errors. Marginal annotations, which had been growing in some Bibles since 1660, although excluded from others, were finally received into the place they have occupied ever since, sundry new ones being added. Lloyd’s dates and chronological notes were also adopted and increased, and the marginal references were much enlarged” – Herbert, p. 274. Full reversed calf. Plainly rebacked with reversed calf. Bound at front is Bentham’s 1762 printing of The Book of Common Prayer with the Church of England Psalter and at back Bentham’s 1762 printing of the Sternhold and Hopkins Metrical Psalter. Herbert specifically notes that “copies of this folio edition are very scarce.” The copy at hand is an absolutely gloriously clean copy of one of the most important Bible printings of the 18th Century. Herbert 1142.
Please Note: This is a low-resolution photo, which shows the format, but makes reading the text nearly impossible. In reality, the text of these Bibles is large enough and clear enough to read very easily.
