Description

The 1805 KJ (King James) Bible is an early 19th-century edition of the King James Version, a translation originally commissioned in 1604 and first published in 1611. Known for its majestic language and literary beauty, the King James Bible had become the dominant English translation by the 18th and 19th centuries. The 1805 edition reflects the typographical and orthographic conventions of its time, often featuring long "s" characters and other historical printing styles. It holds historical significance as part of the continued dissemination of the Bible in English during a period of religious revival and expanding literacy.
