Synopses & Reviews
The editors of Canterbury Classics have chosen to print the King James version of the
Holy Bible, which contains both the Old and New Testaments. The
Holy Bible was first copied by scribes and, because of its length and the time it took to hand write each book, only the elite had a copy. It wasnand#8217;t until the 1440s when Johannes Gutenberg invented his revolutionary printing press that the first printing of the Bible made copies available to the lower class. Only forty-eight copies of Gutenbergand#8217;s original Latin print run exist, and they are considered to be the most valuable books in the world.
