Description
This leaf from a Coverdale Bible, the first printed English translation of the complete Bible, is from an edition done in 1551 in Zurich, Switzerland. This was the last printing of the 1535 Coverdale Bible issued during the life of Myles Coverdale. The text of the Bible on this leaf is from II Chronicles 12:1 to 14:12. Coverdale would later superintend the work of the preparation and printing of the Great Bible in 1539.
