This is William Tyndale’s 1534 New Testament as it first appeared nearly 500 years ago. One of the last surviving copies was carefully scanned in Vienna and taken to the printers without artificial editing. This facsimile was printed by Royal JongBloed in the Netherlands, the country where Tyndale was martyred in 1536. It gives you a “warts-and-all” look at how the English Scriptures originally appeared in the Protestant Reformation.
This book became the basis for subsequent translations of the New Testament, and it permanently shaped the trajectory of the English language. This facsimile reproduces Tyndale’s lasting work in a way the public hasn’t seen for many hundreds of years. Each purchase comes with a little card that assists in reading 16th Century typeset.
- External book dimensions: 6 3/4" x 4 1/2" x 2 1/4"
- Weight: 31 ounces
Customer Reviews
[ Note: I was an original backer and had requested the leather bound version, but had to settle for the cloth binding instead. ]
My copy of the cloth bound version arrived today, and I must say that it looks great and is very well constructed! But oh how much nicer a leather version would have been to hold. I'm still miffed about that version being mothballed for now, but the cloth version is still quite nice. Great work and congratulations to all involved.
One comment about shipping: my copy arrive with no damage or banged corners but it easily could have gone otherwise. The ONLY way to ship premium books like this is to fully encase them in at least a single layer of bubble wrap, preferably two. A few pieces of crumpled brown wrapping paper on three sides of the box only (top, left, cover) still leaves many corners of the book at risk of damage if the box is treated roughly.
