The Geneva Bible is Superior to the KJV

All four previous English translations were used (Coverdale, Great Bible, Bishops, Geneva).
Tyndale's was used but a great volume was from the Geneva.
I know that several versions were compared; but, it was an official revision of the Bishop's Bible. This was one of King James' stipulations.

King James was not a linguist.
The KJV modeled closely after the Geneva.
 
I do not believe the Geneva Bible is better than the 1611 King James Bible or the Authorized King James Bible, however I have no issue with it when it comes to the scriptural text. Footnotes are a problem, but that can be an issue in any translation, and they are not inerrant.
