The Little Portraits on Page Four
By Editor
The Little Portraits on Page Four.—Some of them are familiar; others less known. Wyclif was the one who first gave the whole Bible to the people. William Tyndale's version strongly influenced all that followed. Miles Coverdale translated the first English Bible to be printed, dated October 4, 1535. Thomas Cranmer was no doubt a patron of Miles Coverdale. Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, with twelve bishops, was responsible for the Bishops' Bible. Sir Henry Savile and Lancelot Andrewes, Dean of Westminster, were among the translators of the "Authorized Version." King James was royal patron of the enterprise. For these and other illustrations we are indebted to that magnificent journal, The Illustrated London News.
