This user page is for collating information about Benjamin Blayney's 1769 Oxford Edition of the King James Bible.

Original Bibles

A scanned copy of the 1769 KJV is available at http://www.originalbibles.com/1769-king-james-bible-benjamin-blayney/

Currently this is only for the books Genesis to Jeremiah.

WikiSource

WikiSource has begun a project to scan, transclude, proofread and validate the Oxford 1769 KJV. The pages are in DJVU format.

It's far from being anywhere near to completion.

Pilcrows

In the original 1611 edition, even the book titles had a Pilcrow!

Non-standard spellings

Not all the spelling variations were corrected in the 1769 Oxford KJV, and spelling was not all made uniform.
