Matthew's Bible

Book • 1537
The Matthew's Bible was the first complete English Bible to include all of William Tyndale's translation work, along with contributions from Miles Coverdale.

It was compiled by John Rogers under the pseudonym 'Thomas Matthew' to avoid persecution.

The Bible includes Tyndale's New Testament and parts of the Old Testament, with Coverdale translating the remaining Old Testament books and Apocrypha.

The publication was sanctioned by King Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell, leading to its widespread use in churches.

This edition is significant in the history of English Bible translations, influencing later versions such as the Geneva Bible and the King James Version.
