King James Version
The King James or ‘Authorized’ Version was commissioned when James 1 became King of England. It was first published in 1611 and attained a unique authority, gradually superseding all previous versions. The first Cambridge printing was in 1629, establishing a tradition of care for the accuracy KJV of the text that has been maintained to this day. The KJV is a classic of the English language and remains a very widely accepted and revered translation.

The World’s Best Leather Bibles Cambridge University Press is committed to the finest printing and binding. We have our own Printing House in Cambridge which is unique in being able to trace its history back to the very beginnings of printing with moveable type. Its sheet-fed process produces the very best Bible pages. In our dedicated Craft Bindery, each volume is treated with the same attention to craftsmanship as was our first Bible in 1591. A hallmark of Cambridge quality is the care taken in choosing the finest leathers from around the world. Each hide is scrutinised and, if accepted, is then cut to size for making the leather cases for the Bible pages. Cambridge uses a range of leathers, with different grains appropriate to the size of the Bible (see page 40). Care and Handling Leather, unlike many modern materials, will maintain its attractiveness if you follow a few simple guidelines. Keep the Bible away from sources of extreme heat and from water. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean it but please do not use any detergents or packaged Bible cleaning products. The best preservative for leather bindings is a natural substance – the oils transferred from your hands. The more you handle the Bible, the more quickly it will become supple to the touch.
The combination of very thin paper and a generous layer of gilding means that sometimes the pages stick together until they are separated for the first time. If this happens, hold the pages between your thumb and index finger and rub them together with just enough pressure as is necessary to release the pages. 38
