Major error/misprint in introduction of Oxford World Classics AKJV with Apocrypha or am I missing something?

I recently acquired the Oxford World Classic’s edition of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible with the Apocrypha. I was reading through the introduction when I stumbled upon this very odd and seemingly incorrect passage: >To begin with, as we have just seen, this loose collection of very different kinds of material composed over a period of almost 500 years—including in the Old Testament, history, prophecy, law, devotional verse, proverbs, and even love poetry and fiction, as well as, in the New Testament, letters from named individuals—all had to be placed in a specific order. ![Photo of the Introduction to the Oxford World Classic's edition of the Authorized King James Version with a sentence highlighted ][1] I know very well that the academic consensus on the length of the period in which the entire Bible was composed is roughly 1,300 to 1,500 years, and here in the text, it appears to me that it is stating that it is 500 years. Am I misreading, misinterpreting, or is this a printing error or simply a boldfaced error (in which case I do not feel comfortable moving on with the rest of this edition)?
