Halley's Bible Handbook, in its section on "English Translations" says briefly:

"...Italics, in our Bibles, indicate that the word is lacking in the original text, and filled in to complete the sense.

Chapters and Verses, not in the original text, were added by Cardinal Caro (A.D. 1236), and Robert Stephens (A.D. 1551)."
