How many scholars were involved with the work of translation for the King James Bible?

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, the King James Bible was not produced entirely as a newly translated work. To a considerable extent, the Bible relied on existing translations which the scholars checked from time to time against earlier Greek and Latin works.

Forty-seven men are known to have been engaged in it. These were divided into six companies: two each meeting at Oxford, Westminster, and Cambridge. The first Westminster company was assigned the Old Testament as far as 2 Kings; the second had the Epistles. The first Cambridge company had 2 Chronicles to Ecclesiastes; the second had the Apocryphal books. The first Oxford company was assigned the prophetical books, from Isaiah to Malachi; and the second was given the four Gospels, the Acts and Revelation.
