The Bible I have belonged to my mother in law; she died in 1997 at 96 years old. This bible states: "To the most High And mighty Prince James, by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith." I cannot find a print date. It does say - Oxford, printed at the university press, London: Henry Frowde; Oxford UNIVESITY Press Warehouse, Amen Corner, New York: 91 & 93 Fifth Avenue (Oxford Facimile Series No 5).
All bibles in Great Britain etc are printed under licence from the Crown. The terms of the licence are printed on the frontispiece of the bible and would include both the date the licence was granted and the print date in words.
------------------------------------------------
Please be advised that I also have a Prince James Bible with the same statement. It was printed in 1623. It thanks Prince James for sponsoring the printing of the Bible. In reading it, once you get past the font differences, the English is excellent, and it is a pleasure to read.
