The Making of the King James Bible
The Making of the King James Bible is the first in a series of mobile apps from the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford.
In 2011, the King James Bible is 400 years old and still the most printed book in existence. The Bodleian Libraries in Oxford marked this anniversary with an exhibition entitled 'Manifold Greatness: Oxford and the Making of the King James Bible' (from 22 April to 4 September). This app features over 60 items from the exhibition, it traces the history of the King James Bible, particularly the role of Oxford, and the influence of the translation in England up to 1769. It was in this year that the King James Bible was first revised - resulting in the 'Oxford Standard' version, on which the modern text of the King James Bible is based.
This app is available for iPhone, iPad and Android.
