The King James Bible is this year 400 years old. And to close out this anniversary year, the University of Memphis together with Rhodes College are honoring the KJB, first published in 1611. The events include:
A traveling exhibit called “Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible,” with facsimile images based on holdings from the Bodleian Library at Oxford University and from the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. (in addition to early English Bibles from Rhodes’ Special Collections). The exhibit runs at Rhodes’ Barret Library from November 9th to December 21st.
