Intro

It's the 1611 version of the king james bible that was published in 1611. Not the 1769 version. If you want to read the original text published in 1611 then you should buy the 1611 version of the Authorized version (AV). Often you can find these bibles in your national internet bookstore. Search on ISBN number. First find the book on the international publishers homepage. Take the isbn number and put it directly into google or into the search field of the national internet bookstore.

The bible you need if you want to read the Oxford 1833 reprint is also available for free on the internet. It is the 1833 edition.

One exception to this was a scrupulous original-spelling, page-for-page, and line-for-line reprint of the 1611 edition (including all chapter headings, marginalia, and original italicization, but with Roman type substituted for the black letter of the original), published by Oxford in 1833.[1]

Comment

Though this bible, the Oxford 1833 reprint, might be good to have for research purposes and for reading the original text published in 1611, I recommend people buy the AV1769 king james bible instead. This is because you get a larger font with it, a not so heavy book and also I don't believe that the chapter summaries that are in the original 1611 are the words of God.
