Schuyler KJV Treveris
A King James Bible unlike any other.
Schuyler first released the KJV Treveris (named after a 16th-century British printer) in 2019. The unique design presents the text in a modified “reader” format where chapter and verse numbers are available in the margins, but the text is otherwise quite clean and uncluttered. Designed to complement their flagship Quentel series, the Treveris offers something different while maintaining all of the premium qualities that have become synonymous with the Schuyler brand.
Earlier this year, Schuyler successfully expanded the Treveris line to the ESV, and now that they’re set to unveil a new printing in the original King James design, I thought it was a good time for us to take a closer look at the KJV edition.

Schuyler KJV Treveris – Overview
The main feature of the Treveris typesetting is a single-column text without a lot of extras. Verse and chapter numbers are located in the margins, and section subheadings are in the header. There are no cross-references or textual footnotes. It has a 10pt font that is line matched on 28 GSM paper. Each chapter starts with a red ornamental drop cap (page numbers, chapter numbers, and headers are also in red). What this creates is a reading experience much more like that of a novel, but you still have enough information to know where you are at all times. Despite this streamlined approach, the KJV Treveris does come with a Concordance, a set of Schuyler Bible Maps, and lined note paper.
The exterior qualities that Schuyler fans have come to know and love are all on display with the KJV Treveris: edge-lined goatskin and calfskin covers, raised spine hubs, and the signature Jerusalem cross on the cover. In recent years, Schuyler has started to offer Bibles with full-yapp covers, which can be found on all of the new editions of the KJV Treveris.
One of the ways that the Treveris differs from the Quentel series is its size. The text block is 5.5” x 8.5” (just slightly larger than the Midsize Quentel I’ve been hoping for), and it is 1.5” thick when you include the cover.
