- The Revised Version (RV) of the Holy Bible, published in 1895 with the Apocrypha. Also known as the English Revised Version (ERV), it was the first and remains the only officially authorized revision of the King James Version. Produced by over 50 scholars from Britain and America, it incorporated advances in Greek and Hebrew textual scholarship. The New Testament (1881) made over 30,000 changes to the KJV text, over 5,000 of them based on a better Greek text. The complete Bible with Apocrypha was published in 1895. Note: This dataset includes the 66-book Protestant canon only.

  ## Description
41
 
42
+ The **Revised Version (RV)**, also known as the **English Revised Version (ERV)**, is a groundbreaking late 19th-century revision of the King James Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible. Published in complete form with the Apocrypha in **1895**, it remains the only officially authorized revision of the KJV.
43
+
44
+ Produced by over **50 eminent scholars** from Britain and America, the RV was the first English translation to fully incorporate advances in Greek and Hebrew textual criticism made during the 19th century. The New Testament (published 1881) made over **30,000 changes** to the KJV text, more than 5,000 of them based on better Greek manuscripts that were unavailable to the KJV translators (notably the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus).
45
+
46
+ The revision was characterized by:
47
+ - **Greater accuracy** to the original Greek and Hebrew texts
48
+ - **Consistent translation** of the same original words
49
+ - **Removal of archaic language** while preserving dignity of style
50
+ - **Marginal notes** indicating textual variants and alternative renderings
51
+ - **Restored readings** from older and more reliable manuscripts
52
+
53
+ The American committee that participated in the RV went on to produce the **American Standard Version (ASV)** in 1901.
54
+
55
+ **Important note:** This dataset includes the **66-book Protestant canon** only. The Apocrypha books (included in the 1895 edition) are not included in this release.

+ ## Notes
176
+
177
+ - This dataset includes the **66-book Protestant canon** only. The 1895 edition also included the Apocrypha (deuterocanonical books), which are not included in this release.
178
+ - The RV uses **archaic British English** — e.g., "heaven" instead of "heavens" in Genesis 1:1, "thee" and "thou" forms are retained.
179
+ - The American committee's work evolved into the **American Standard Version (ASV, 1901)**, also available in this collection (`k-mktr/american_standard_version_en`).
180
+ - The RV was highly influential despite never achieving the popularity of the KJV, and its textual critical work profoundly impacted all subsequent English translations.
