"This
is the title page to the 1611 first edition of the Authorized Version Bible by Cornelius
Boel shows the Apostles Peter and
Paul seated centrally at the
top. Moses and
Aaron flank the central text. In the four
corners sit Matthew,
Mark,
Luke and
John, authors of the four
gospels, with their symbolic animals.
The rest of the Apostles stand
at the top. Full name: Authorized Version King James. Abbreviation: KJV or AV. It was "authorized"
by Act of Parliament. In the United
States, the Authorized Version is known as the King James Version. The Authorized Version
was effectively unchallenged as the sole English translation in current use
in Protestant churches."
