Anniversary of King James Bible

From a Today in Literature emailing (02May05):

On this day in 1611 the King James Bible was published. The first "Authorized" Bibles were in 16" x 11" editions — most churches chained them to the pulpit — but the personal-sized edition followed soon after.

Although it had an immediate and lasting impact, the book did not make everyone happy. Some denounced its availability and readability, taking issue with the announced goal of creating a book that “may be understood even [by] the very vulgar." Some just thought that the editors did a bad job: "Tell His Majesty that I had rather be rent in pieces with wild horses, than any such translation by my consent should be urged upon poor churches,” wrote one scholar asked for comment. And over the next days, years and centuries, as the KJV went through edition after edition, many pointed out (or just enjoyed) the now-infamous typos:

• the "Basketball" edition, in which "hoopes" instead of "hookes" are used in the construction of the Tabernacle.
• the "Vinegar" edition, in which Luke tells "The Parable of the Vinegar” instead of "The Parable of the Vineyard."
• the "Murderers" edition, in which Jesus says "Let the children first be killed" instead of "Let the children first be filled."
• the "Unrighteous" edition, in which “the unrighteous shall inherit the Kingdom of God.”
• the "Wicked" edition, in which the seventh commandment is “Thou shalt commit adultery."
