Speaking of the versions of the Bible, I have a copy of the Hexapla. This is a side by side of six different versions of the New Testament including KJV, Geneva, Wycliffe and three others. I have found it very interesting and thought provoking to read the different interpretations. Not sure if these books are easily available.
