The Pure Cambridge Edition of the Bible, first published in about the year 1900 by Cambridge University Press and Collins publishers, is also known as the Standard text. It is the product of textual purification that has occurred since 1611 when the Authorized Version was completed, and it has been used as the received text for many decades. Millions of copies were issued by Bible and missionary societies in the twentieth century. This text stands in contrast to all other editions (especially newly edited and modernized ones), uses the standard Cambridge spelling, and is scrupulously exact right down to the italics and punctuation. In many ways, this is the most accurate, reliable, and faithful edition of the Bible ever published. It has been newly designed and typeset using the sturdy but beautful Minion typeface. Originally referring to a specific size of type, the word "Minion" means "a beloved servant." This full-text edition of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible includes both the Old and New Testaments. Those who care about accuracy and presentation will find this edition ideal for use in church and in personal study.
