King James (1566–1625) was James VI of Scotland and later also King of England. He organized and oversaw the translation of the King James Version of the Bible (KJV), published in 1611, which has had a profound influence on the English language and religious culture. Public information about his personal life and writings is limited; the library holds only one related work, commonly classified under inspirational growth. Through this representative work, readers can learn about his approach to promoting Bible translation and its textual style: the translation is solemn and elegant, with a distinctive rhythm, and has long been one of the most widely circulated Bible versions in the English-speaking world, leaving a lasting mark on literature and faith.
