John Wycliffe: The Holy Bible - The Old Testament [English, Middle]

By John Wycliffe

In the late Fourteenth Century, John Wycliffe and his followers became the first to translate the complete text of the Bible into English, a key event in the subsequent Protestant movement. This new text-only edition of Part Two of The Old Testament is based upon the extremely rare first complete printing of the John Wycliffe Middle English translation of The Holy Bible (Oxford: University Press, 1850), a printing largely unavailable since the late 1800's. This Volume contains the Books of I and II Kings (I and II Samuel), III and IV Kings (I and II Kings), I and II Paralipomenon (I and II Chronicles), I Esdras (Ezra), II Esdras (Nehemiah), III Esdras, Tobit, Judith, and Hester (Esther). While Middle English spelling of words has been retained, alphabetic and runic symbols which are no longer in current usage have been replaced by their modern equivalents. Three companion volumes of The Old Testament (Parts One, Three & Four) and The New Testament are also currently available through R. A. Sites Books.
