PREFACE TO THE PAPERBACK EDITION
John Bois, Andrew Downes, and their fellow translators are now my old companions. This acquaintance has made clear just what John Selden meant when he wrote that Andrew Downes was "most excellent" in Greek and just why Sir Henry Savile gave John Bois approbation for his notes on St. John Chrysostom's homilies. The translators of the Authorized Version had great learning and subtle minds. Scholars who have written about the Reverend John Bois's notes have shown the effects of this great learning and these subtle minds on the Authorized Version. The steady flow of ideas prompted by these notes gives hope that this new paperback edition will serve to swell the flow.
Since the original printing of Translating For King James, many studies of the notes have suggested their various uses. An important examination of Bois's record forms one chapter in Irena Doruta Backus's The Reformed Roots of the English New Testament(Pickwick Press, 1980). The section on Bois's notes in Muneharu Kitagaki's Principles and Problems of Translation in Seventeenth-Century England (Yamaguchi Shoten, 1981) has as subject the link between exactness and ambiguity in biblical translation. Olga S. Opfell's The King James Bible Translators (McFarland & Co., 1982), a detailed survey of the progress of the translation, describes the work of the General Meeting. In The Making of the English Bible (Carcanet New Press, 1982; Philosophical Library, 1983) and in "English Translations of the Bible," in The Literary Guide to the Bible, edited by Robert Alter and Frank Kermode (Harvard University Press, 1987), Gerald Hammond points up by way of examples the translators' literary skills. Stephen Prickett brings the notes into clear focus in developing his challenging ideas in Words and the Word (Cambridge University Press, 1982), as does David Norton in his magisterial work, A History of the Bible as Literature (Cambridge University Press, 1993). Samuel Hornsby's essays on minute points of punctuation and diction unlock secrets of the notes. And in The Bible and the Literary Critic (Fortress Press, 1991), Amos N. Wilder's concise description of what the notes reveal also suggests their many uses.
My debts to readers are many. The Reverend John Harwell and Mrs. Marjorie Boensen King have spotted errors and sent notice of them. The Reverend Germain Marc'hadour has

been generous in opening to me the treasury of his learning. I have included an errata sheet for the correction of errors in the original printing. Finally, let me repeat from the original preface to this book my debt to Gustavus S. Paine, who made known in The Learned Men (1959) his discovery of John Bois's notes.

PREFACE
The story of the publication of John Bois's notes is a simple one. Some years ago, I learned through Dr. F. H. A. Scrivener's book, The Authorized Edition of the English Bible (1661) (Cambridge: the University Press, 1884), that John Bois, one of the translators of the Authorized Version, had made notes while the company of review, of which he was a member, prepared the final edition of their translation at Stationers' Hall during the years 1610-1611. Bois, and he only, had made notes as the company deliberated over the final version. From time out of memory the notes have been lost.
For one who had beguiled leisure hours in puzzling over the revisions that the translators of the Authorized Version had formed in their edition out of previous translations, the dream of recovering the lost notes floated as an unbodied joy. Dr. Scrivener nourished that dream with the conjecture that Some day the lost notes would perhaps turn up in a private collection.
