We have added something to the display in the Library Atrium. It's a handsome facsimile of the first roman-alphabet edition of the King James Bible of 1611.
Oxford University Press has brought out this accurate reproduction especially for the 400th Anniversary or Quatercentennial of the King James, possibly the most influential work of English literature ever published.
Because this is a replica, you may feel free to touch it, turn the pages, read selected passages, and look at the way the printing was designed. The entire Bible plus Apocrypha is included.
