The text describes my research on the King James Bible of 1611. I discuss how the paratextual apparatus (especially prologues, prefaces, dedications, marginal notes) of this revision of the English Bible is expressive of the specific orientation of highly self conscious translators. The new version of the biblical text and the adaptation of the paratextual apparatus to new theological and political circumstances in early seventeenth-century England are a very interesting case study of the ideological impact of the act of translation.

Abstract
The text describes my research on the King James Bible of 1611. I discuss how the paratextual apparatus (especially prologues, prefaces, dedications, marginal notes) of this revision of the English Bible is expressive of the specific orientation of highly self conscious translators. The new version of the biblical text and the adaptation of the paratextual apparatus to new theological and political circumstances in early seventeenth-century England are a very interesting case study of the ideological impact of the act of translation.
