This is William Tyndale’s 1534 New Testament as it first appeared nearly 500 years ago. One of the last surviving copies was carefully scanned in Vienna and taken to the printers without artificial editing. This facsimile was printed by Royal JongBloed in the Netherlands, the country where Tyndale was martyred in 1536. It gives you a “warts-and-all” look at how the English Scriptures originally appeared in the Protestant Reformation.
This book became the basis for subsequent translations of the New Testament, and it permanently shaped the trajectory of the English language. This facsimile reproduces Tyndale’s lasting work in a way the public hasn’t seen for many hundreds of years.

Awesome truly, it's great to compare it to my 1611 king james bible and see how much tyndalecontributed to it
This is a very well made and faithful reproduction of Tyndale's 1534 New Testament. It has a high quality binding and good thickness of paper, so it will be durable and last a lifetime if handled properly. The printing retains an exact likeness unto the pages of the original with no editing or digital clean-up, so reading it is like reading the original with all it's marks and minor imperfections. I rather like it that way because it feels like I'm holding the original 1534 with it's almost 500 years of history. The older English language may have some letters or words or spellings that are different from today's language, but it is not difficult to get used to: especially if you are passionate about the Word. After all, we are always learning words throughout our lives, and today it is easier than ever to look up a word you don't know, or to look up a symbol or old text quirk. I actually find reading this old language more fun and engaging than any modern text. There is only one complete copy of the original 1534, and I am thankful that Felix O’Neill has published this facsimile reproduction to preserve this version and it's legacy. I am very glad to have my own copy to read, and I know that my copy will help to preserve this amazing work. That said, I would recommend any person of faith or lover of scripture to purchase one while they are available to spread abundantly and preserve Tyndale's work for future generations and for your own enjoyment and enrichment.
While I would’ve preferred to have the facsimile printed borderless, the fact that I can have what is essentially a copy of Tyndale’s last New Testament is truly special. I am so grateful you have worked to make this available.
Great Bible. Excellent production. Altogether, a life-time reading experience!
I didn’t know the Bible would be so small. The print is also so small.
