Issued in a smaller, more convienent format than its predecessors, the Geneva Bible was the 1st English Bible to use verse divisions + the 1st to be printed in Roman type. Except in the New Testament where the influence of Tyndale predominates, the Geneva contributed more to the King James Bible than did any other single version. It quickly became the cheap, popular version of the Scriptures; for well over 1/2 a century this was the Bible most read by Englishmen + most often reprinted.
