This lengthy document provides valuable insights regarding the thiking of the team of scholars that translated our most enduring Englilsh version of the bible. It's unfortunate that this preface is rarely included in most editions of the KJV of the bible sold today.

  • Uploaded Mac/e-sword 11 version.


The files KJV Preface.topx KJV Preface.zip kjv_preface.refi as updated 2022-01-20
The contents provide only the Dedication letter from the Translators to King James, Epistle Dedicatory to the Authorized King James Version "TO THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE JAMES, BY THE GRACE OF GOD KING OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND IRELAND, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, &C., THE TRANSLATORS OF THE BIBLE WISH GRACE, MERCY, AND PEACE, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD."
 
The Preface to the King James Version is missing, which would be "The Translators to the Reader The best things have been calumniated." A copy with references is available in PDF from https://www.tbsbible.../page/articles# as "Translators to the Reader", PDF, https://www.tbsbible...h-footnotes.pdf

When you read "KJV Preface" through the "Tools", "Reference Library..." window option in e-Sword in the Microsoft version, e-Sword version 13.0.0. after the section published in the 1611 Holy Bible as "The Epistle Dedicatory", then this is followed by the section which appears under the heading "THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER". This is provided is 15 sections, using the subheadings, as they were provided in 1611. The list of Notes appears at the end. The notes are not numbered, and provides the list of books to which the translators made reference, as indicated in the margin of the 1611 KJV. These notes are to be associated with the references indicated by a cross sign † in the text. The cross references to scripture verses, which are included in the † items, are not hyperlinked with the Bible references, nor are these Bible references included in the listings in the Notes section.

The spelling probably follows the 1769 printing. The coder of the e-Sword edition, Jayman, did not provide the previous details of where he obtained the source, and the name and date of the printing of the Holy Bible which he copied. 
For a copy of THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER, with footnotes, you can access TBS, Trinitarian Bible Society, https://www.tbsbibles.org/ and section "Resources", and "Articles", and then select "Translators to the Reader", which is a document available in PDF format. The refererences, including the Bible cross references, are listed as Notes, which are all numbered to the relevant hyperlink. 

If you copy the downloaded *.topx file provided here by biblesupport.com to your User Files Location, and use the TBS copy for details, then you will be able to edit your copy with the Topic Notes editor, and add in the missing tooltip references to Bible verses, and can update your copy to provide the correctly numbered footnotes to the Latin and Greek references in section 16, Notes, in your copy.  Some of the Greek letter characters may have been coded by Jayman using old RTF or ASCII codes, instead of using the correct Hebrew language characters. You can try to correct these, with the use of a Greek onscreen keyboard.
