Speciale King James Bible 1611-2011

Considerata la Bibbia inglese per eccellenza, la King James Version fu commissionata dal re Giacomo I di Scozia (1603-25) e pubblicata nel 1611.
In occasione del IV centenario, presentiamo una serie di approfondimenti in lingua inglese.
 
1. In the elegant surroundings of the English-Speaking Union, Professor David Crystal delivered a fascinating lecture about the relationship between the King James Bible and the ways in which aspects of the English language have evolved over the 400 years since 1611. The presentation focused particularly on the impact of the King James Bible on idioms of the English language. The lecture explores ways in which the text has popularised so many well-known phrases and sayings found in everyday use. This intellectual adventure ranges from the Bible text right through to Hollywood musicals. click here...
