Notes

The King James Bible (1611), also known as the Authorized Version, was commissioned by King James I of England to resolve conflicts among existing English translations and unify the Church of England. Over 50 scholars worked on it, using earlier translations like the Tyndale Bible and Geneva Bible as sources. Renowned for its poetic and majestic language, it became the most influential English Bible, shaping religious, cultural, and literary traditions for centuries.
