It was brought over by the Puritans, and hated by King Jamesš§
It was also the first portable Bible; so a Bible for the people, by the people.
there is a real nice Patriot's Edition with the George Washington picture that Q posted.

The 1599 Geneva isnāt as easy to read as one may think. At least I donāt thinks so. A lot of scrambled āoldā English in it.
true, it seems rougher than the KJV & sure makes it more difficult. maybe that's where the margin notes fill in the gap. a new adventure for me, so I like the challenges with the language. also knowing that the Puritans liked it is a selling point for me.
