Today's KJV and 1769 Compared

[Logos1560]

Norris, Rick. Today's KJV and 1769 Compared. Statesville, NC, 2020.

As a companion booklet to my earlier Today's KJV and 1611 Compared, which compared a 1611 edition to the Oxford edition in the 1917 Scofield Reference Bible, I have prepared a 60+ page booklet that compares the 1769 Oxford edition of the KJV to a Cambridge Pitt Minion edition and that compares the 1769 Cambridge edition to the edition in Waite's Defined King James Bible.

Including spelling, it lists over 400 differences between the 1769 Oxford edition and the Cambridge Pitt Minion edition and over 1,000 alterations or differences between the 1769 Cambridge and the edition in the DKJB. It demonstrates that the KJV text in Waite's DKJB is not the text of the 1769 Cambridge "unaltered." It also identifies the around 30 differences between a post-1900 Cambridge edition such as the Pitt Minion or the Concord with the Oxford edition in the 1917 Scofield Reference Bible.

Much of this is gleaned from my earlier almost 700 pages of data from over 500 editions of the KJV:

How can the perfect translation have those many variations then?

Are there any Kjv that used as the primary greek text TR the 1894 Schreiver one?

I do not know for sure if any edition of the KJV was revised based on the Greek text compiled/edited by Scrivener.

Possibly Scrivener's own 1873 Cambridge edition of the KJV could be considered linked to the Greek text edition he later compiled since he might have been influenced in his editing decisions in that edition by his understanding, knowledge, and study of the varying Greek TR texts used in the making of the 1611 that he compiled into one text edition.

I was curious, as read that his edition was the most accurate TR text, so seemed like should have been used for a Kjv revision!

wasn't there at one time a Zodervan Kjv based on later TR text used?

Zondervan published a KJV edition based on the 1873 Cambridge edition in 2000 and 2002, and Henrickson printed KJV editions based on the 1873 Cambridge in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011 that I have seen. Perhaps they printed this same text in some other years also.

The 2005 Hendrickson Parallel Bible and the 2008 New Hendrickson Parallel Bible also based their KJV text on the 1873 Cambridge edition.
