Beginning with exceptionally pure KJV, whose accuracy has been discussed with much interest here.

Actually the line began with Luther- Tyndale-Geneva and finishing up with the pure AV1611.

Actually the line began with Luther-Tyndale-Geneva...

Luther actually added a word to Romans 3:28 to fit his teachings.

As for Tyndale, well, King Henry VIII, in 1531 declared "the translation of the Scripture corrupted by William Tyndale should be utterly expelled, rejected, and put away out of the hands of the people." And in 1543—after his break with Rome—Henry again decreed that "all manner of books of the Old and New Testament in English, being of the crafty, false, and untrue translation of Tyndale . . . shall be clearly and utterly abolished, extinguished, and forbidden to be kept or used in this realm."

Thomas More said searching for errors in the Tyndale bible was like searching for water in the sea.

I posted just previously on the construction of the KJV - essentially a re translation of the Bishop’s Bible, with scrutiny to those other sources you mentioned, along with some input from Latin and Greek manuscripts.
