The King James version of the Bible is the most widely printed book in history. First printed in 1611, there have been numerous subsequent printings and editions. This early King James Bible, with Old Testament printed in 1637 and New Testament printed in 1638, is bound together with the Book of Common Prayer, the Psalms, and the genealogies of the Bible, separately printed in 1641. The Book of Common Prayer is a text used for worship in the Anglican Church. Throughout the biblical text, various woodcuts illustrate the stories of the Bible.
