The first New Testament printed in English
This volume presents William Tyndale's pioneering English translations of the Bible in modernized spelling. It opens with his Pentateuch, the five books of Moses first printed in 1530, and continues with his New Testament, the first ever printed in English, translated from the Greek and issued at Worms in 1526, together with the prologue of the unfinished Cologne edition of 1525. Tyndale's direct, plain English, much of which passed into the King James Version, gave the language phrases still in daily use. Editor's notes discuss the translator, the restoration of the text and the archaic vocabulary. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
