Colleagues:
Ted Mann inquired: --->>>>>>>>>>>
I understand that most of the KJVs published today are derived from
Blayney's 1769 revision. How can one know if this is true of a given
publication? Are there clues in the text itself, or does one have to
contact the publishing company that produced it, and ask them? Is it
possible to pick up a modern publication of the KJV, examine it, and say:
"Oh yes, this the Blayney revision."? If so, how? Many thanks.

Here is a quick test:
Look up Gen. 27:14 and 1 Kings 7:13--
--if the verb is "fetched", it is Blayney-edited.
--if the verb is "fet", it is pre-Blayney.
Look up Exod. 3:2 and Deut. 4:11--
--if the verb is "burned", it is Blayney-edited.
--if the verb is "burnt", it is pre-Blayney.
Look up Deut. 32:41--
--if the participle is "glittering", it is Blayney-edited.
--if the participle is "glistering", it is pre-Blayney.
(Disregard 1 Chron. 29:2--Blayney missed this one.)
I doubt that it will be easy to find a pre-Blayney KJV, except as a
specially-printed, edition-for-collectors-and-scholars, Bible.
