This is a rare offering for an authentic Black Letter Bible leaf from Tyndale's Version printed by R. Jugge in 1552. Tyndale leaves are some of the most sought after and desirable among collectors worldwide. This is from a Quarto edition with the leaf measuring about 5 1/2" X 7". This is from the NEW TESTAMENT and contains verses from the BOOK OF REVELATION and includes a LARGE Woodcut! This includes verses 7:14(p)-9:2(p). This tells us about, among other things, those who came out of the Tribulation. There is some cropping of the lower portion of the leaf affecting the bottom line of the text and the very bottom of the Woodcut. With a couple Woodcut capitals. This leaf comes from the first of three illustrated editions of Tyndales version printed by Jugge(illustrated leaves with woodcuts available for a premium). Though Coverdale was credited with being the first to print a complete Bible in the English language, his friend William Tyndale was the first to translate the New Testament into the English language. It was his desire to cause the "plough boys"(laymen) to know the Scriptures and so his translation began. Though there were quite a few editions printed, few overall still are in existence as they were read to pieces and perhaps destroyed during the reign of Queen Mary. One could actually be martyred during that day for having one of his Bibles in their possession. Tyndale was martyred for his faith Please contact me if you would like to hear/have Bibles for sale or have a specific request, or the possibility of making payments.
