Sorry... I was being TIC. Sams seems out of sorts lately. I was kind of picking at him.

Actually nothing appears on the cover itself. And you are right about the dedication and the "I" in "James" or "Iames." They had a different alphabet in 1611. No "W" either. And the "H" was a relatively recent addition from the Greek where it had an entirely different purpose as the letter eta which gave the "short" "e" sound.

I wish you could actually get paid for having accumulated this much useless information. To me it pretty fascinating. My wife thinks I need to talk to a doctor about it, though.

...

"out of sorts"?
Hey, I'm old,
just about the oldest one in this group.
I get to be a grumpy old man
because I can't spell curmudgeon.


Anyhoo, why all this talk about King James?
Wasn't he a pervert? Would you read a Bible named after him?
Didn't the REAL Protestants use the Geneva Bible which was older?
and was translated in Geneva where the Prods had to flee from Bloody Mary?
I have a (new) edition of the 1599 edition of the Geneva Bible.
It's in modern print (kinda small for my trifocals) and it has the letter "J"; it doesn't add that extra "e" at the end of words; it uses the letters "u" and "v" the way we are used to seeing them used; it spells "lion" without a "y" (lyon appears some places in the old KJV); it includes the verses the JW's, modernists,and all those other bad guys took out (like Matthew 17:21; Mark 16:9-20; John 5:4; the first verses of John chapter 8; Acts 8:37; part of Acts 9:6; 1 John 5:7)

I'm old enough to remember the Revised Standard Version and the furor it created by not calling Mary a virgin in Isaiah chapter 7 and by dropping certain verses. One fundamentalist (funny mentalist) preacher publicly threw it in a tub of lye. One took a blowtorch to it and said, "It's like the devil, it doesn't burn easy."

are you referring to Ieosus?. It is the greek form of the name Jesus, which is the enlish form of yeshua. Some have tried to discredit the name of Jesus with this greek name.
