Seller Description
The Psalter of the Great Bible of 1539 is a crucial historical text in the development of English biblical translations and literature. The Great Bible was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, and the Psalter (the Book of Psalms) within it marked a significant step forward in making scripture accessible to English-speaking Christians. This 1539 edition is especially notable for its role in the Reformation and its influence on subsequent English translations of the Bible. The Psalms in this version helped shape the language of the King James Bible, one of the most enduring translations of the Bible. The book’s leather-bound form adds historical weight to this landmark text, making it a valuable piece for collectors and scholars interested in the history of the English Bible, literature, and religious history.
