Translating for King James: Notes Made by a Translator of King James's Bible

John Bois

Language: English

Published: Jun 14, 1969

Description:

This book has been designed for both scholar and general reader. For the scholar, the manuscript is reproduced photographically, in full. For the general reader, an edition of the notes appears on facing pages to the manuscript:there is printed a translation of the Latin portion of the manuscript, a transliteration of the Renaissance Greek characters into contemporary symbols, with the errors of the Greek in the notes silently corrected, and a transcription in italics of the English portions of the manuscript. The translation is close, and the punctuation reproduces the punctuation of the notes as nearly as possible, so that a reader may work easily from translation to manuscript. A translation for each Greek word or phrase follows in brackets after the Greek.
