Bishops of the Anglican Church disapproved of some of the attitudes expressed in various Bibles. In 1568 they published their own version, the “Bishops’ Bible,” and made it the official Bible of the Anglican Church. (The word “bible” comes from Greek biblos, “scroll” or “book” – also the root of bibliophile, “book-lover.”) Here’s the beginning of the Book of Genesis, opening with a decorative initial: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and was void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. In the third line, “the” has been shortened to ye. In the second-last line, “spirit” begins with a long form of s, like an f with one arm missing. (photo credits 12.3)
