An academic who was tasked with editing the Bible on which King Charles will swear his Coronation Oath has spoken about why he decided to include hundreds of misprints.
Prof Gordon Campbell, from Leicester, edited the book the monarch will rest his hand on when he recites the oath at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
The original text of the King James bible dates back to 1611.
Prof Campbell said he had wanted his version to be close to the original.
The Archbishop of Canterbury commissioned Oxford University Press (OUP) to produce a special hand-bound edition, decorated in gold leaf, for the Coronation.
Prof Campbell, emeritus professor and fellow in Renaissance studies at the University of Leicester, prepared the edition to mark its 400th anniversary in 2011 but said he was surprised it was chosen for use in historic ceremony.
