New from Bodleian Library Publishing: Manifold Greatness and the Making of the King James BibleIn 1604 the newly crowned King James I and VI of England and Scotland commissioned a new translation of the Bible. It took fifty or so scholars six years to complete and was published 400 years ago this year, in 1611. This new book from Bodleian Library Publishing tells the story of this remarkable achievement with outstanding images from the collections of The Bodleian and Folger Shakespeare Libraries
