| Content | Leaf from the King James Bible, 1611 A.D. This Bible, known as the "Authorized Version" has been given the tribute of being "the noblest book in the English language". It represents the work of fifty committee members, and was seen through the press by Miles Smith and Thomas Bilson. This version soon displaced all others, and for over three hundred years was without rival. The name "She" Bible is applied to the second issue, from which this leaf is taken, because of the reading in Ruth iii. 15, ...she went into the city." |
