The Middle English Translation of The Holy Bible (Volume One) by John Wycliffe

Synopsis:

In the late Fourteenth Century, John Wycliffe and his followers, at great peril to themselves, became the first to translate the complete text of the Bible into English. This "Beggars Bible," as it became known, became a key event in the subsequent Protestant movement because it allowed the entire Bible to be placed into the hands of the common people for the first time. This new text-only edition of Part One 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 that has been largely unavailable since the late 1800's. This Volume contains the Books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges and Ruth. 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English spelling of words has been retained, alphabetic and runic symbols which are no longer in current usage have been replaced by their modern equivalents. This gives the modern reader the opportunity to experience the vigorous and idiomatic language of the first great English-language Bible first-hand, and to discover the sense of wonder its first readers must have felt. Three companion volumes of The Old Testament (Parts Two, Three & Four) and The New Testament are also currently available.

History & Criticism

A gold mine for students of Classical mythology and early first millennium Jewish, Gnostic and Christian beliefs.Synopsis:THE SIBYLLINE ORACLES are a fascinating blend of mysticism, spirituality, philosophy and history emanating from the depths of antiquity. They were widely referenced by the early Church Fathers, and in spite of their pagan content, almost attained Canonical status. THE SIBYLLINE ORACLES are like a first draft of the Biblical Book of Revelation, and have many of the same characteristics as the prophecies of Nostradamus. Cryptic and Apocalyptic, they present the reader with an enigma that has puzzled the world for 2500 years, an enigma still waiting to be solved. This special deluxe edition includes three versions of the famous CHRISTIAN ACROSTIC, several Appendices and a lengthy Index, and other features unavailable in any other edition.
