The publication in 1526 of a modestly-priced pocket edition of the New Testament in English was possibly the most important single event in the history of the English Reformation.
Much of Tyndale's work was to be taken over into the 1611 King James ('Authorised') Version of the Bible, through which it became known throughout the English-speaking world.
This edition presents Tyndale's words in their original spelling. It is the first complete reprint since 1526 of his pioneering translation of the New Testament from Greek into English.
The text has been newly transcribed and edited by Dr .W. R. Cooper, and is introduced by Professor David Daniell.
