Ege Famous Bibles Leaf 30

Abstract

This image is from a collection created by Etta Hanson and given to the College in 1954. All items are from Otto Ege's estate. The leaf was contained and mounted in a mat created by Otto Ege, as were all other leaves in this collection. There is a typed description at the bottom of the mat, which reads: "Imprinted at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the Queenes most excellent Maiestie. The second edition of this work. The Bishop’s Version (printed in italics) and the Reims version (in roman type) appear in parallel columns. The first comprehensive attempt to refute the arguments and accusations contained in the Testament prepared by English Romanist refugees of Queen Elizabeth’s reign at Reims. The heated confutations of Fulke only served to call attention to the Reims version, and caused it to have marked influence on the Bible of 1611. (Darlow and Moule 202)"
