Summary: This lesson explores the historical use of italics in Bible translations, focusing on their implementation before and including the 1611 King James Version. It addresses misconceptions about the KJV being the first or only Bible to use italics, discusses scholarly views on the practice, and examines F.H.A. Scrivener's systematic analysis of italics in the Authorized Version. The lesson emphasizes the importance of understanding the original purpose of italics in Bible translations and how their function has changed over time.
