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.
Blayney's 1769 Oxford edition of the KJV still had these non-standard spellings[1] that are not found in many present KJV editions:
- (this list may be incomplete)
