Sinossi
Excerpt from The Bible Word-Book: A Glossary of Archaic Words and Phrases in the Authorised Version of the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer
I wish to exclude all conscious and intentional employment of archaisms. It is necessary, moreover, to take prose as the standard, because in all languages poetry has dominion over the words of many generations. By this subjective process I may have excluded some expressions which Others would have inserted, and I may have inserted some which they would have excluded. I will only ask any reader, before pronouncing a judgement upon this point, to consider carefully the context Of the passages which are in each case selected for illustration. There are of course instances in which there will be differences of Opinion, but I hope I shall have succeeded in making these as few as possible.
