FCN series on the Payette Bibles begins
Tyndale worked on Matthews Bible from 1537

Notice the pristine condition of each leaf of this extremely rare edition. Surprisingly, the pages to the Bibles in Payette’s collection from the 1500 and 1600s are in excellent condition, as the pages were printed on a durable and expensive linen stock paper.
