King James Bible

A five month long exhibition – Great and Manifold Blessings: The Making of the King James Bible – will feature a world-class display of biblical treasures when it opens to the public, for free, on January 18, 2011.

Gathering together much of the source material that the original Cambridge translators used to begin their masterwork in the early seventeenth century, the exhibition includes William Tyndale’s first pocket-sized smuggled editions of his own translations, Henry VIII’s enormous Great Bible, a first edition of the Geneva or ‘Breeches’ Bible and also a very rare copy of the notorious ‘Wicked Bible’ of 1631 – featuring the misprint ‘Thou shalt commit adultery’.
