In the 19th century, in the period roughly 1820 to 1860, there were repeated Bible monopolies campaigns in the United Kingdom. They were aimed at removing monopolies, in the form of patents awarded to the King's Printers for England and Wales and for Scotland, respectively, in the publication of the Authorized Version of the Bible in English. These monopolies were not absolute, since they were shared with other institutions, and might not apply to Bibles with value added by illustrations, or annotations. But they were a barrier to cheap publishing of Bibles in large editions.

  • In the 19th century, in the period roughly 1820 to 1860, there were repeated Bible monopolies campaigns in the United Kingdom. They were aimed at removing monopolies, in the form of patents awarded to the King's Printers for England and Wales and for Scotland, respectively, in the publication of the Authorized Version of the Bible in English. These monopolies were not absolute, since they were shared with other institutions, and might not apply to Bibles with value added by illustrations, or annotations. But they were a barrier to cheap publishing of Bibles in large editions. The Bible monopoly was a contentious issue from its start, with the bookseller set against the first King's Printer, Robert Barker. In Scotland, the monopoly was stricter, and a combination of local factors led to an intense campaign in the 1830s. At the end of the decade the patent granting a monopoly to the King's Printer for Scotland was not renewed. In England and Wales, despite campaigns for another decade, the monopoly remained. (en)
