And, the KJV is common use now is a 1697 (I think) revision of the 1611 version, which was written in Middle English (think Chaucer), that the vast majority of English-speaking people couldn’t read at the point of a gun.

... and the Challoner Douay-Rheims is a 1752 revision drawing heavily from the KJV, due to the absolute disastrous, transliterated Latin Vulgate-to-English flop that was the original Douay-Rheims.

Thanks for giving me a chance to correct myself - the KJV now in use is a 1769 revision of the 1611 version.
