5B 1823-1824 King James Holy Bible Prayer Book and Bible
Note:
The 1823 edition of the King James Bible is a notable printing of one of the most influential and widely read translations of the Bible. Originally commissioned by King James I in 1604 and first published in 1611, this version is known for its majestic language and literary significance. Paired with the Book of Common Prayer, this edition would have served both as a sacred text for personal devotion and a guide for Anglican worship. The Book of Common Prayer, which includes liturgies, prayers, and Psalms, has been a cornerstone of English-speaking Christian practice since its inception in the 16th century. Together, these works reflect the religious and cultural fabric of early 19th-century Britain.
