The Reina Valera Bible is considered more authoritative and widely used among Spanish-speaking communities compared to the King James Bible.
The attached link: "The Quran translated" is probably a useful site. It provides four English translations for each verse. Their differences demonstrate why only the Arabic version is considered authoritative.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was the first Alice book to be published, and is the one most people are familiar with, so could be described as the authoritative text.Alice's Adventures Under Ground is a facsimile of the shorter, hand written version which Lewis Carroll gave to Alice Liddell, and The Nursery "Alice" is a rewritten shorter version which Carroll wrote for the under-fives.
The pharaoh was considered to be the living version of the god Horus.

The King James Bible, also known as the Authorized Version, was commissioned by King James I of England in 1604. He appointed a group of scholars to revise existing English translations of the Bible to create a new authoritative version.
An authoritative dictionary is one where a group of people all agree is a competent dictionary. That is an oversimplification, but there it is. Two grammarians with sixty years of combined experience can give an expert opinion on what a good dictionary is, but it takes more than that to label something as authoritative. Which ones are considered authoritative? Oxford is a big one. American Heritage and Merriam-Webster are a couple more. I prefer American Heritage because the layout is easier to read. It is also important to know what isn't authoritative. Beware of Webster dictionaries. They are a take-off on the Merriam-Webster dictionaries. Compare Snap-On (a professional tool supply company) to Stack-On (a second-rate tool supply company). Some companies try to benefit from the reputation of other companies by using a play-on-words. Don't be fooled. Although Webster's version is good, it is not considered authoritative. There are encyclopedic dictionaries, unabridged dictionaries, and several other kinds, with many of them being quite good. Encyclopedic dictionaries are cool, but when a dictionary tries to do more than simply be a dictionary, the quality suffers. Using a combined dictionary is like trying to surf the 'Net on your phone; it can be done, but it pales in comparison with a T3 line on a full size computer.
Unfortunately, no.
The similarities are huge. The Roman Catholic bible is the same as the standard Christian bible (apart from some matters of translation and the preferred authoritative sources) except for a few inclusions in the Hebrew Scriptures (sometimes called the Old Testament) of the RC bible considered non-canonical by most mainstream Christian churches.
The definitive edition of a book is the most authoritative version of it. You know when a book is the definitive edition because it is stated either on the cover or within the first couple of pages with the publication information.
