The New Testament: A Facsimile of the 1526 Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A great facsimile.I collect Bible facsimiles, and this is the very best.It is also wonderful that by far, it is the lest expensive.The reprodution is one of the very, very best that I have ever seen.Far better than ones costing hundreds of dollars.The fact that it is still one of the very best English translations ever done makes it all the much better.The above reviewer's statement that it is not clear is not correct, it is perfectly clear.Perhaps that reviewer is not use to old style Gothic type?This is the most important Bible that was ever translated and printed, and it is a miracle that we can still read and enjoy the very first early modern English Translation from the original Greek.
This Bible was originaly printedalmost 5 hundred years ago, and it is still perfectly readable today.It is actualy in more modern English than the later King James Version.Indeed the KJV copied straight from this Bible into theirs.

Product Description:
The publication in 1526 of a modestly-priced pocket edition of the New Testament in English was arguably the most important single event in the history of the English Reformation. Between 1525 and 1535 Thomas Tyndale gave us the English Bible, translating the whole of the New Testament and half the Old Testament. His pocket-sized Bibles were smuggled into England, ruthlessly sought out by the Church, confiscated and destroyed. Tyndale himself was condemned as a heretic, strangled and burned outside Brussels in 1536. This volume is a complete facsimile of William Tyndale's pioneering translation of the New Testament from Greek into English, held at the British Library, and only one of the two last copies remaining in the world. The British Library produced an edition of the Tyndale Bible with original spelling but a modern typeface. It has sold over 10,000 copies and remains one of our most popular and well received titles.--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
