De quoi il s'agit
La Bible du roi Jacques, de 1611 : l'Ancien et le Nouveau Testament dans la version qui fut trois siècles durant le texte anglais de référence.
Contexte et histoire
Jacques Ier la commanda et une quarantaine de traducteurs répartis en six commissions la réalisèrent, mais ils ne partaient pas de rien : une grande part de la prose vient de William Tyndale, exécuté en 1536 pour avoir traduit la Bible en anglais. Il faut se rappeler qu'il s'agit d'une traduction : pour toute question de texte, les originaux sont l'hébreu et le grec, et c'est là qu'il faut aller vérifier.

And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.…
