About this product
Product Information
David Norton has recently re-edited the King James Bible for Cambridge University and this book arises from his intensive work on that project. He reveals here how the text of the most important Bible in the English language was made, and how it was changed by printers and editors until it became the text we know today in 1769. Using material as diverse as the manuscripts of the original translators, and the results of extensive computer collation of electronically held texts, Norton has produced a scholarly edition of the King James Bible that will restore the authority of the 1611 translation. This book includes the bible's fascinating background, Norton's editorial principles and substantial lists and tables of variant readings. It will be indispensable to scholars of the English Bible, literature, and publishing history. A website with additional resources (www.cambridge.org/kjv) will be available one month prior to publication.

Reviews
'His scholarship cannot be bettered ... In the face of centuries of highly coloured myths, his dogged and committed analytic detail is greatly to be welcomed.' Professor David Daniell, Emeritus Professor of English at UCL, "...the book should be in the library of every educational institution, and in public libraries. It will be of interest to scholars and students who are interested in the true history of the King James Bible and the current state of its text." - James D. Price, Temple Baptist Seminary, Chattanooga, TN, "David Norton's A Textual History of the King James Bible is now the definitive study of the processes which gave us today's most influential book. His scholarship cannot be bettered. Norton shows the gaps in the story of the making of the text, the faults in the first printings, and all the many changes up to the establishment of the current text in 1769. Over half his weighty volume is given to eight appendices of comprehensive listings of errors and changes, and their causes. In the face of centuries of highly coloured myths, his dogged and committed analytic detail is greatly to be welcomed. He, and CUP, are to be congratulated." David Daniell, University College, London, '… work of awe-inspiring diligence. … one can have nothing but praise for a beautifully written and handsomely presented piece of work.' Epworth Review, 'His book will be the definitive work on the subject for a long time to come, and is unlikely to be superseded unless and until significant new evidence comes to light …' Churchman, '... Detailed Analysis ... Formidable Attention ... an Essential Référence.'religious Studies Review, '... work of awe-inspiring diligence. ... one can have nothing but praise for a beautifully written and handsomely presented piece of work.' Epworth Review, 'In recounting the history of the textual transmission of the English Bible, Dr Norton has produced an impressive piece of work. Not only does he provide a mass of information on a much fuller scale than has ever been attempted before, but he presents it with admirable clarity, using such manuscript evidence as is available, and full lists and tables of variant readings as well as the resources of computer technology. In short, it is a milestone in its particular field, and other scholars and students will find it indispensable.' Canon Professor J. R. Porter, Professor Emeritus of Theology, Exeter University, Church Times, "...his lucid and careful discussion of teh issues involved is worth the price of the book, which should be required reading for any first-time editor of an early modern text." - Debora Shuger, University of California, '… detailed analysis … formidable attention … an essential reference.' Religious Studies Review, 'His scholarship cannot be bettered ... In the face of centuries of highly coloured myths, his dogged and committed analytic detail is greatly to be welcomed.' David Daniell, University College London, 'His book will be the definitive work on the subject for a long time to come, and is unlikely to be superseded unless and until significant new evidence comes to light ...' Churchman, '... meticulously researched and clearly written ... This is a tremendous achievement and a valuable addition to biblical literature.' Contemporary Reviews, "Unlike other recently published works on the King James Version, which have colorfully narrated the achievements of major translators and transmitters of English Bibles, Nortonas books concentrates on the text itself, which has been subjected to huge numbers of changes, both intentional and accidental, over the past almost 400 years. Norton has a fine eye for telling detail. Nortonas volume admirably succeeds in achieving its stated goals. Highly recommended." CHOICE, 'His scholarship cannot be bettered … In the face of centuries of highly coloured myths, his dogged and committed analytic detail is greatly to be welcomed.' David Daniell, University College London, '… meticulously researched and clearly written … This is a tremendous achievement and a valuable addition to biblical literature.'

In short, it is a milestone in its particular field, and other scholars and students will find it indispensable.' J. R. Porter, Church Times

This seller must have died or he is a scammer. Have contacted several times on this item, has not shipped from from his location. Today was the last day, will not buy anything from this place again. How can this item which was purchased on Oct 5 still not shipped. This means seller is selling inventory he does not have. Worst experience ever with EBAY and diazbetterdeals.
