Thanks! A big surprise tied into the 400th anniversary of the 1611 King James Version Bible:
Two scholars have compiled the first worldwide census of extant copies of the original first printing of the 1611 King James Version (sometimes referred to as the "He" Bible). For decades, authorities from the British Museum, et al., have estimated that “around 50 copies” of that first printing still exist. The real number, however, is quite different!
For more information, you're invited to contact Donald L. Brake, Sr., PhD, at dbrake1611@q.com or his associate David Sanford at drsanford@earthlink.net.
You’re also invited to visit the www.credocommunications.net/kjv website for more information.
David,
Thank you for your encouraging note and information. I have bookmarked the site.
I have read Donald Brake's work The Preservation of the Scriptures as reprinted in Counterfeit or Genuine Mark 16? John 8? edited by the late Dr David Otis Fuller.
Dr Brake's work was very helpful to me some years back in refuting some criticisms about the supposed non-uniformity of the Received Text.
