The Bentham Bible of 1762 helped establish the standard text of the King James Bible still in use today. Joseph Bentham, university printer in Cambridge, used the revised text by F. S. Parris, who had worked over two decades before his death in 1760 to correct textual errors, modernize the language, and refine the marginal notes and references. Bentham’s folio and quarto editions of 1762 would be used by Oxford scholar Benjamin Blayney, whose 1769 edition of the Bible developed Parris’s revisions further and would serve as the template for modern King James Bibles. This copy is a quarto edition bound in a single volume.
