Apocrypha in KJV?

Didn't the 1611 King James Bible contain the Apocrypha?

Yes, it did.  But we must remember that in that day, the Apocrypha was considered an historical document and was added as supplementary historical material IN BETWEEN the Old and New Testaments.  The KJV translators went out of their way to let everyone know that the Apocrypha books were not a part of Inspired Scripture.  They gave 7 reasons in the preface as to WHY the Apocrypha was not a part of Inspired Scripture.  Contrast this with The Catholic Bibles from the corrupted Alexandrian Manuscripts which dispersed the apocryphal books throughout the Old Testament, implying they were a part of Inspired Scripture!  The Apocrypha Books were not inspired, and taught many Unscriptural things such as prayers for the dead; magical incantation, sinless perfection, etc.

Much like today, our Bible publishers have added a concordance or maps in the back of the Bible as supplementary material to be helpful to the Bible reader.  We understand that these concordances and maps are not inspired like Scripture.  The Apocrypha in that day was considered a helpful historical supplement, but the translators wanted to make sure that people didn't think these historical writings were considered to be a part of the Bible itself.
