Ege Famous Bibles Leaf 31

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: "En Amsterdam, En Casa de Lorenco. Jacobi C. de Reina’s translation revised by C. de Valera, a Spanish monk who came under the influence of the Reformation, escaped from persecution in Spain, and took refuge in England, where he devoted the last twenty years of his life to this work, his “evening sacrifice.” Nearly two hundred years later (1793) a Spanish Bible was first printed on Spanish soil. (Darlow and Moule 8475)"
