Notes
"The Making of the King James Bible" is a remarkable account of one of the most significant translations of the Bible in history. Commissioned by King James I of England in 1604, the translation aimed to create an authoritative English version for use in the Church of England. A committee of around 50 scholars, proficient in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, worked meticulously for seven years to produce the text. Published in 1611, the King James Bible became renowned for its majestic prose and profound influence on the English language, shaping literary and religious traditions for centuries.
