'The Authorized Version of the English Bible, first printed in 1611...is the most widelypublished text in the English language. During many generations, large portions of it were known by heart by people on both sides of the Atlantic. With Shakespeare, its exact contemporary, the Authorized Version has contributed countless quotations and expressions which have slipped, hardly noticed, into English language and idiom...The book was always printed according to a very precise formula. The lengthy wording of the titlepage was unvarying. Every Bible opened with the standard preface to James I, 'To the Most High and Mighty Prince James...', beginning 'Great and manifold were the blessings...' The text of the Bible was arranged in strict convention. It was generally laid out in two columns, with separate numbered verses. Each chapter opened with a short summary of its content. There were no interpretative notes, but there were brief references in the margins to parallel passages or variant readings. 246249pp, HAMEL, Christopher De. The Book. A History of the Bible.
