A copublication between the two royal-privileged printers Oxford and Cambridge though printed solely by C.J. Clay at Cambridge. The Revised Version was the product of over a decade of British and American collaborative work co-financed by Oxford and Cambridge in exchange for exclusive co-copyright on the text. Received with great acclaim and criticism it shot Oxford's number of Bibles printed per-annum over 2 million for the first time. The RV committee was a spectacular assembly of scholarly prowess who made enthusiastic use of the most recent scholarship including the new critical Greek text of Westcott and Hort. Conspicuously absent from the committee were the more literary voices of King James's translators and the somewhat wooden style of the RV suffers for it though exegetes have prized it for exactly the same reason. A surprising inclusion in this royally-convened committe was a large team of Americans: 'In every instance the suggestions from America were treated with the same consideration as those proceeding from members of the English Company and were adopted or rejected on their merits. It was a part of the terms of agreement with the American Company that all points of ultimate difference between them and the English Revisers should be placed on record found in the appendix . Many of them will be found to be changes of language which are involved in the essentially different circumstances of American and English readers; others express a preference for the marginal rendering; others again involve a real difference of opinion; but all shew that they have been dictated by the same leading principle the sincere desire to give to modern readers a faithful representation of the meaning of the original documents.' from the Preface Darlow & Moule 2041; Simon Eliot The History of Oxford University Press Vol. II.
