1553 RARE TYNDALE NEW TESTAMENT/WOODCUTS
This auction is
for a rare Tyndale New Testament printed by R. Jugge in
1553. This is the second quarto edition revised by
Richard Jugge. Entirely complete Tyndale editions
offered publicly are exceptionally rare(and not offered
often, period) and this one is lacking the following:
all before B1(signature A), beginning at Matthew 6:23(
including the 18 preliminary leaves missing), also
lacking P1. The first four leaves have been repaired
with text loss. N4 repaired with lower loss of Woodcut,
2B8 repaired with bottom right corner loss. Also lacks
the second part title with the title to Romans repaired
with major loss and finally there are a series of leaves
with lower marginal repair with no loss of the Scripture
text. There is some soiling and dampstaining and a small
amount of worming at the rear of the Bible(the browning
can be cleaned completely for a binders fee if desired,
leaving clean pages). There are nice margins for the
most part throughout. Many Woodcuts in the Gospels with
many Woodcut title pages and a series of Woodcuts in
Revelation(approximately 100 total). Please note the
fourth scan from the bottom with Jugges device and
Imprint, it reads: "Love Kepyth the Lawe, Obeyeth the
Kynge, and is Good to the Commen Welthe". The binding
appears to have 17th Century boards(small loss and some
rubbing) with blindstamped panel designs, corner stamps
and marbled endpapers. A recent reback gives it a
handsome shelf appearance. Tyndale copies are found in
worse condition(lacking more than this one) with poor
headlines(see last scan for example-this is from another
poorer edition). If more information is needed, please
contact me. I WILL CONSIDER A REASONABLE OFFER FOR THIS
EDITION, PLEASE CONTACT ME. Rare/Religion/Theology.

is part of the inspired writings, that is the Old and
New Testaments, they alone are. Please contact me if you
