After the Great Bible of 1539, the next Bible produced by the Church of England was the Bishops' Bible of 1568. It was revised in 1572, and an edition of it in 1602 was (at least officially) the base text for the KJV. It marked a serious advance over the Great Bible in that it was translated more directly from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek than from the Latin and German versions that the Great Bible used.
As with other pages migrated from biblicalambiguities.net, this page may contain material paraphrased or even outright copied without direct attribution from the KJV, RV, ASV, JPS (1917), WEB, NHEB, Kittel's BH, the pre-1923 volumes of the ICC series, or the commentaries on Genesis of Dillmann, Skinner, and Driver. More details on this policy can be found here: biblicalambiguities-general-disclaimer and biblicalambiguities-translation-disclaimer.
