Third part in FCN series on Payette Bibles
Erasmus English Latin Paraphrase nearly flawless, previously not known to exist
Bible2
The brightly colored original marbled endpapers of the 1548 Erasmus Paraphrase on the Gospels in English remain perfectly intact and display the book plate from the special collections division of the Bath Public Library in the United Kingdom. Amazingly, this is where this rare, two-volume edition was formally housed for many years before being acquired for the Payette Bible Collection. - photo by Micah Green

William Tyndale translated the Bible into English using the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic texts. That was the first time such a thing had been done for the entire Bible.
