The King James Version Bible is a translation of the Bible which originated in 1611, King James of England ordered it to be translated from the Hebrew Bible. He set very strict rules to be followed and many men to do the work in order to insure it was translated right. It was then translated into a more modern form of English in 1769 by the University of Oxford. Which is the King James version Bible we have today. It is the most accurate Bible you can find, and the ONLY one I will recommend.

The Bible was written over a period of at least 14 centuries, and it's doubtful that "the original manuscript" for, say, the Pentateuch even still existed by the time the New Testament was being written, let alone by the time the King James translation was started. Bottom line: no, it wasn't. It was, however, translated from what were believed to be valid copies (of copies of copies of copies ...) of the original manuscripts. In other words, the Authorized Version was translated from what was purportedly the original Hebrew (and Greek, in the case of the New Testament), it wasn't translated into some other language, then some other language, then some other language, etc, finally winding up in English.
