Description:
"First printed in 1568, the Bishops' Bible was a revision of the Great Bible. It was translated by a committee largely of English bishops, hence named the Bishops' Bible. Intended to take the place of the Geneva Bible (an unauthorized Bible), it never won the hearts of the people. The Bible pictured here is the 1602 edition which became the underlying text of the KJV. King James had 40 unbound copies of this edition sent to the KJV translators to use as a guide for the new version."
