Apocrypha [illustrated] [translated]

This edition gathers the fourteen books of the Apocrypha as they appear in the King James Version of the Bible. In that translation these texts sit between the Old and New Testaments and, although they are not part of the Protestant canon, they have long been read for their history, poetry and moral teaching. The volume presents the material in plain, traditional wording, with illustrations added to accompany the text. It offers a convenient way for readers curious about these writings to study them in the familiar language of the 1611 translation, whether for devotion, study or simply to see what lies beyond the standard canon.
