Notes
The 1776 Holy Bible refers to editions of the Bible printed during the year 1776, a significant time in American history as it marks the year of the Declaration of Independence. While the most famous Bible from this period is the Aitken Bible, printed in 1782, 1776 saw various editions of the Bible, primarily printed in Europe, especially in England. These Bibles followed the King James Version, which was the most widely accepted English translation at the time. They played a crucial role in the spiritual and cultural lives of the people, often serving as family heirlooms and religious guides during a pivotal era in American and European history.
