May I question the statement about the Bishops' Bible? My information is that the AV was heavily dependent for scholarship and wording on the Geneva Bible, which, unlike its predecessors, made use of both continental and Jewish scholarship. The Geneva Bible in itself was unacceptable because of its marginal glosses, which had an extremely "protestant" turn to them. This made it repugnant to James and his establishment. --[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] 13:56, 24 September 2014 (UTC) | May I question the statement about the Bishops' Bible?

May I question the statement about the Bishops' Bible? My information is that the AV was heavily dependent for scholarship and wording on the Geneva Bible, which, unlike its predecessors, made use of both continental and Jewish scholarship. The Geneva Bible in itself was unacceptable because of its marginal glosses, which had an extremely "protestant" turn to them. This made it repugnant to James and his establishment. --Martin Wyatt 13:56, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've changed it to "main basis" for now. Maybe more detail would be desirable. My understanding is that the translators were very eclectic, making use of all available Bibles in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, English and no doubt other languages, including even the Catholic Douai. But the Bishops' Bible was the main basis, being treated as the default. Peter Jackson 15:04, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
