'Every shop hath Bibles of diverse translations', John Boys noted in the 1610s.
What was the result of so many English Bible translations circulating in early modern England? How did worship function when the Prayer Book used older translations as newer ones circulated?
Join this Friday to see!
Harry Spillane
Very much looking forward to speaking on whether you can have too many bibles and what this meant for Prayer Book worship in early modern England.
Do join the seminar at Emmanuel College, this Friday at 4pm!
I can promise lots of pernickety puritan pedantry...
