The Tyndale New Testament
Only three copies of William Tyndale’s English translation of the New Testament printed in Worms in 1526 are known to survive. This is one of them, currently held in the British Library. It was clearly once a treasured possession, for (unlike the two others) it has been beautifully illuminated. It is a rare and precious survival of a text which was once revolutionary, because it allowed everyone to read the Scriptures for themselves.
