What is funny is that Rick Norris' method of producing long lists is now adopted by other anti-KJBOs, because they want to look smart. They are, of course, pale imitations of the master of scholastolatry.

The thing is that Norris has actually done some research, so his lists hold up to some kind of investigation (though his conclusions are wrong, of course).

If someone comes along and asks, "which edition?" and produces a random list of dates, it is clear that they do not really know anything of what they are talking about when they produce a list like this:

Quote:
Which one?

1611 edition of the KJV [facsimile digital reproduction in Gothic type]
1611 edition of the KJV [reprint in Roman type]
1612
1613
1631 "Wicked Bible"

At least Rick Norris that was credible. I am sure he would start like this:

Quote:
1611 "He"
1611 "She"
1612 8vo
1612 8vo
1612 Q. Roman
1612 Q. Roman
1613 F.
1613 Q.
1613 Q.
1616 F.
1617 F.
For someone to say the following is a sure sign of an amateur who knows nothing of what he speaks, nor whereof he affirms:
"1611 edition of the KJV [facsimile digital reproduction in Gothic type]
1611 edition of the KJV [reprint in Roman type]"

The reprint dated from 1833 (and subsequent years) is based on that one in blackletter typeface.

And the list is woefully short of important editions. What about really obvious dates, like the 1629 and the 1638. Anyone who really knows anything about King James Bible editions would surely know those two.

And what about the 1769 Oxford Edition. Omitting that one is just... words fail ...

And what about the 1762 Cambridge Edition.

I would like to know what exactly the differences are between the following two:
“1869 Cambridge edition of the KJV
...
1872 Cambridge edition of the KJV”.

The edition said to be mine is actually from Cambridge some hundred years beforehand.

Anyway, Will Kinney's answer to such accusations is here:
