1611 KJV..

Charles C.G. Miller

Specifically, I would like to have a very early KJV formatted as a Research Edition and fully functional in Logos but with more modern letter shapes. I am not sure that a specific 1611 text exist because it was typeset many times, each time with errors. Many people almost worship the KJV and think they have a 1611 KJV. Without being able show them a modern KJ V next to a 1611 KJV they just blow you off.

It would also be interesting to also have a version with the original letter shapes but this is not my main request.

@Charles C.G. Miller I have also wanted the 1611 printing of the KJV in Logos. I'm less interested in the text (although I do find some spellings...intriguing) and more in the marginal notes that were printed in 1611. I also think the Translators to the Reader should be more widely known.

I collect Bible leaves and have four from the 1611 printing ("He"/H309). I've been wanting a facsimile of the Bible (since it's unlikely I'll ever own an original), but there's a particular edition I'd like. There's one edition that shows up frequently on eBay searches that I may end up buying. There are a lot of editions on eBay and Amazon that claim to be the 1611 version, but looking inside clearly shows the spellings are modern; these are probably the 1769 Blaney edition. I consider this to be internationally deceptive.
