Tyndale’s English New Testament

THE first known complete printed New Testament in English was Tyndale's, which was produced at Worms in 1525. Of the original issue of 3,000 copies, only two are known to exist, and even these are incomplete. One beautifully illustrated copy is preserved in the Baptist College library at Bristol, and the other in St. Paul's Cathedral library. As showing the care with which the work of translation has always been carried out, it has been calculated that even in the Revised Version of 1881 at least eighty per cent of the words are precisely the same as in Tyndale's Testament of 1525.
