Exhibition of Old Bibles

An exhibition of old Bibles in which some originals will be shown, is being organized by Dr. F. G. Kenyon, the librarian of the British Museum, to be held in the museum in connection with the celebration of the tercentenary of the Authorized Version. The manuscripts will illustrate the progress of the Bible from the earliest days, beginning with examples of the Hebrew and Greek originals, and going on to the Latin Vulgate. There will also be examples of the early English manuscripts.In the printed book section the first example will be a copy of Tyndale's New Testament, translated in 1526. Following this will be shown all other printed editions. Letters from Cromwell and Cranmer will be shown, with other descriptive matter relating to the history of different copies of the Bibles on exhibition.
