1536 Tyndale New Testament: Heavily Illustrated. William Tyndale produced the very first English language New Testament to 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 before his death. The woodcut illustrations are breathtaking. The calligraphy-like Gothic black letter typeface is also a work of art.
This Facsimile Reproduction measures approximately 9 inches tall by 6.5 inches wide by just under 2 inches thick and is bound in hardcover burgundy-brown bonded leather with gold stamping along the spine. We have photographically enlarged this reproduction to approximately 125% the size of the original for ease of reading.
The 1560 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 on the Mayflower. Both the Regular and the Deluxe Editions of the 1560 Geneva Facsimile Reproduction are the same on the inside. They are the same size, measuring approximately 11 inches tall by 8.75 inches wide by 3.25 inches thick, and bound in hardcover burgundy bonded leather with gold stamping along the spine.
1551 “Latin-Greek-Latin” New Testament of Erasmus, published by Robert “Stephanus” Estienne. One of the most important books ever printed; it is the first printed scripture with modern verse divisions! This unspeakably rare printing is the original source of the “numbered verses” we see in all our Bibles today, which appeared in English for the first time in Geneva Bibles, printed less than a decade after this 1551 edition.
