The Victorian Reformation Bible: Acts and Monuments
View through CrossRef
In 1611 the King James Bible was printed with minimal annotations, as requested
by King James. It was another of his attempts at political and religious
reconciliation. Smaller, more affordable, versions quickly followed that
competed with the highly popular and copiously annotated Bibles based on the
1560 Geneva version by the Marian exiles. By the nineteenth century the King
James Bible had become very popular and innumerable editions were published,
often with emendations, long prefaces, illustrations and, most importantly,
copious annotations. Annotated King James Bibles appeared to offer the best of
both the Reformation Geneva and King James Bible in a Victorian context, but
they also reignited old controversies about the use and abuse of paratext. Amid
the numerous competing versions stood a group of Victorian scholars, theologians
and translators, who understood the need to reclaim the King James Bible through
its Reformation heritage; they monumentalized it.
