Hi Liz!

    James had very little translation done. The majority of the work was done
by William Tyndale, who was burned at the stake for willfully perverting the
meaning of the scriptures in 1536.  The KJV took into account the Tyndale
Bible, the Cloverdale Bible of 1535, the Matthew Bible of 1537, the Great
Bible of 1539, the Geneva Bible of 1560, the Bishop's Bible of 1568 and the
English translation of the Latin Vulgate of 1582. (source: The New Oxford
Annotated Bible, page xi)

    I would be VERY interested in his sources if he says James had a
translation done from the original Greek (or Aramaic).
