Royal octavo three volumes original publisher's deluxe full pebbled morocco gilt titles to the spine and front panel gilt inner dentelles all edges gilt. In very good condition. The Bible has had an unprecedented influence on literature and history especially in the Western World where the Gutenberg Bible was the first book printed using movable type. According to the March 2007 edition of Time the Bible “has done more to shape literature history entertainment and culture than any book ever written. Its influence on world history is unparalleled and shows no signs of abating.†With estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies it is widely considered to be the most influential and best-selling book of all time. Attitudes towards the Bible also differ among Christian groups. Roman Catholics high church Anglicans Methodists and Eastern Orthodox Christians stress the harmony and importance of both the Bible and sacred tradition while many Protestant churches including Evangelical Anglicans focus on the idea of sola scriptura or scripture alone. This concept arose during the Reformation and many denominations today support the use of the Bible as the only infallible source of Christian teaching. Others though advance the concept of prima scriptura in contrast. Oxford University Press unknown

An exceptionally rare complete and unique example of perhaps the most influential text in the English language. "From about the middle of the seventeenth century until the appearance of the Revised Bible of 1881-5 the King James version reigned without rival" Herbert 319. One of the most influential texts in the English language Thomas Macaulay anointed it "a book which if everything else in our language should perish would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power" PMM 114. The official work of translation was undertaken by nearly 50 scholars over the span of 1604 to 1611 but it can be seen as the culmination of nearly a century of work beginning with William Tyndale's New Testament translations and including the bibles of Coverdale and Whitchurch the Bishops' Bible the Geneva Bible and the Rheims New Testament. "Appointed to be read in Churches" the Great "He" Bible was exposed to public usage on lecterns and almost all surviving copies have suffered some manner of damage or loss.
