The King James Bible translators

"Among the world's bibles the King James version is preeminent for its dignity and style. What is amazing is that it was the achievement of a committee of 49 scholar-churchmen working in six companies at Westminster Abbey and the universities of Cambridge and Oxford." "This is a thorough account of the learned and eccentric King himself, the actors that set the new translation effort in motion and the revising, editing, printing, reception and influence of the finished work.". "The emphasis is on the individual scholar-translators who labored in such unprecedented harmony and to such lasting effect. Line-by-line comparisons of various translations, original documents, a list of translators, a bibliography and an ample index are all included."--BOOK JACKET.
