18th Century Bibles
Polly Moore 1518 Crossbreeze Court, Bowling Green, KY 42104-4730 Phone: 270-781-2336 Email: moorecourt@yahoo.com URL: www.18thcenturyBibles.org We make a 1733 reproduction New Testament. Our edition of the King James Version that was printed in 1733 is not a first-edition, nor a last edition, nor an unusually rare edition. Yet that is exactly why we attempted to make this replica. It represents the common Bible of the common family in the American colonies. It reminds us of a generation who was born during the First Great Awakening, who came to adulthood during the French and Indian War, and who became the brave leaders of the American Revolution and the founders of a new American nation. The last mass printing of a modern facsimile of an 18th century King James Bible was the 1968 American Bible Society's reprint of the 1782 Aiken Bible. But, the binding was not period-correct. In this same tradition, we wanted to bring back a good quality reproduction of a 1700s Bible, beginning with the New Testament. However, we wanted more than just a facsimile. We wanted to make a true reproduction that 18th century re-enactors and living history enthusiasts would be proud to put in their haversacks and read around the campfire.
