1536 Tyndale New Testament William Tyndale produced the very first English language New Testament to ever come off a printing press. He was burned at the stake in 1536 for the “crime” of printing these magnificently Illustrated English New Testaments. This 1536 edition was the last and most elaborate one done prior to his death. The woodcut illustrations are simply breathtaking. The calligraphy-like Gothic Blackletter Typeface is also a work of art. William Tyndale is called “The Architect of the English Language” that we now speak. SEE PRICES, MORE DETAILS, & PHOTOS OF THIS ITEM. |
| 1539 Edition of The
Great Bible Belonging to the "Fry" Collection The Bible, published in April 1539, is popularly known as the Great Bible, because it was splendidly printed on very large folio paper ( 42 x 28 cm; type-page 33.7 x 23.5cm). The first English Bible, formally authorised by King and Parliament, it is a notable landmark in the history of the English Bible. This "authorised" Bible was in effect a revision by Miles Coverdale of the Matthew Bible published two years previously. SEE PRICES, MORE DETAILS, & PHOTOS OF THIS ITEM. |

1549 Matthew-Tyndale Bible John Rogers, operating under the assumed name “Thomas Matthew” was the first person to ever print a complete English Bible that was translated directly from the original Greek & Hebrew. He took Tyndale’s New Testament, and completed his work on the Old Testament, publishing his First Edition in 1537. This is a facsimile reproduction of his nearly identical 1549 Second Edition. It is the oldest complete English Bible ever reproduced in facsimile form. Two binding styles are available: the Regular Edition, and an elaborately tooled fine binding Deluxe Limited Edition.

1560 Geneva Bible: First
Edition The Geneva Bible was the “Bible of the Protestant Reformation”, and the Bible of the Puritans and Pilgrims. It was the first Bible taken to America, and the first in English to add numbered verses. Also, the first to use easier-to-read Roman Style Typeface; it is the Bible quoted from hundred of times by William Shakespeare in his plays. It was the first “Study Bible” with extensive commentary notes, and the only Bible ever to outsell and exceed the popularity of the King James Bible. Produced by John Calvin, John Knox, Myles Coverdale, John Foxe, & other English refugees in Geneva, Switzerland, fleeing the persecution of Queen “Bloody” Mary. Two binding styles are available: the Regular Edition, and an elaborately tooled fine binding Deluxe Limited Edition. SEE PRICES, MORE DETAILS, & PHOTOS OF THIS ITEM. |
