1538 Coverdale FIRST Diglot Bible Leaf/RARE! This rare leaf contains text from the Book of John chapter 21(most of it). There are a few ink splotches on the verso and a small repair at the bottom(see scan). This is an authentic Bible leaf from the FIRST edition of Coverdale's Diglot Testament(limited number available). Printed in Southwarke by James Nicolson MCCCCCXXXVIII. Will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. This contains Scripture text from the New Testament in both Latin and English each corresponding to the other after the Vulgare text, commonly called S. Jeroms. The Latin text is in Roman Letter and the English text is in Black Letter. The Coverdale New Testaments are even scarcer than the Tyndale New Testaments and as far as I know I am the only one offering them today(unless someone is selling one bought from me). To be able to purchase a leaf from this edition is a rare opportunity indeed. I am aware of a few other Coverdale leaves(1535 Coverdale first edition leaves) available anywhere at any price and priced at well over $1000.00. The leaf measures about 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" and is in good to very good condition. Miles Coverdale(spelled Myles then), 1487-1569, is not as well known today among Evangelical Christians as some of the Spiritual Giants of time past, but he was responsible for successfully spreading Gods Truth throughout Europe in his day. Friends with Tyndale, he realized that the Bible must first be put into the language of the day in order for a great work of revival to begin. He was the FIRST to produce an English translation of the COMPLETE Bible from the original languages.
