The Wicked Bible, sometimes called the Adulterous Bible or the Sinners' Bible, is an edition of the Bible published in 1631. The name is derived from a mistake made by the compositors: in the Ten Commandments, the word "not" was omitted from the sentence, "Thou shalt not commit adultery".
"[Another error] is a misprint appearing in Deuteronomy 5: the word "greatness" appearing as "great-asse", leading to a sentence reading: "Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his great-asse"."
Reminds me of the joke where a monk finds out the original text said “celebrate” instead of “celibate”
This is a wonderful example of comedic history
