  that 
  college. 
  He 
  became 
  later 
  rector 
  of 
  Lutterworth, 
  in 
  Leices- 
  

   tershire, 
  and 
  was 
  the 
  foremost 
  leader 
  of 
  the 
  party 
  of 
  reform. 
  He 
  

   died 
  in 
  1384. 
  About 
  1380 
  he 
  undertook, 
  with 
  the 
  assistance 
  of 
  some 
  

   of 
  his 
  followers, 
  the 
  translation 
  of 
  the 
  entire 
  Bible 
  into 
  English 
  

   from 
  the 
  Latin 
  of 
  the 
  Vulgate. 
  His 
  translation 
  was, 
  after 
  his 
  death, 
  

   revised 
  by 
  one 
  of 
  his 
  adherents. 
  The 
  present 
  copy 
  is 
  assumed 
  to 
  

   represent 
  the 
  first 
  version 
  prepared 
  by 
  Wycliffe 
  himself, 
  or 
  at 
  least 
  

   under 
  his 
  supervision.

  New 
  Testament. 
  Facsimile

  F. 
  Fry. 
  William 
  Tyn- 
  

   dale 
  was 
  born 
  between 
  1484 
  and 
  1486, 
  in 
  Gloucestershire. 
  He 
  was 
  

   educated 
  at 
  Oxford 
  and 
  afterwards 
  at 
  Cambridge. 
  He 
  went 
  to 
  

   Hamburg, 
  and 
  later 
  joined 
  Luther 
  at 
  Wurttemberg, 
  where 
  he 
  fin- 
  

   ished 
  the 
  translation 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  Testament 
  into 
  English. 
  The 
  first 
  

   edition 
  was 
  issued 
  in 
  1525. 
  His 
  English 
  style 
  was 
  very 
  good 
  and 
  

   was 
  largely 
  retained 
  in 
  the 
  Authorized 
  Version. 
  His 
  translation 
  

   was 
  condemned 
  by 
  the 
  English 
  Bishops 
  and 
  was 
  ordered 
  to 
  be 
  

   burned. 
  Tyndale 
  was 
  strangled 
  for 
  heresy 
  at 
  Antwerp 
  in 
  1536, 
  and 
  

   his 
  body 
  burned.

  and 
  Tyndale.

  The 
  Gothic 
  version 
  was 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  fourth 
  century 
  by 
  

   Bishop 
  Ulfilas 
  (born 
  318 
  A. 
  D., 
  died 
  about 
  381). 
  It 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  

   been 
  a 
  complete 
  version 
  with 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  the 
  book 
  of 
  Kings. 
  

   It 
  was 
  probably 
  completed 
  about 
  360 
  A. 
  D. 
  Only 
  fragments 
  are 
  

   preserved 
  in 
  the 
  so-called 
  Codex 
  Argenteus, 
  or 
  " 
  Silver 
  Book," 
  in 
  

   the 
  library 
  of 
  the 
  University 
  of 
  Upsala, 
  Sweden. 
  The 
  Anglo- 
  

   Saxon 
  version 
  was 
  begun 
  by 
  King 
  Alfred, 
  who 
  translated 
  the 
  Psalms 
  

   in 
  the 
  ninth 
  century. 
  The 
  translation 
  now 
  extant 
  dates 
  to 
  the 
  tenth 
  

   century.

  1535, 
  

   being

  language. 
  

   It 
  was 
  not 
  translated 
  from 
  the

  but 
  was 
  based 
  on 
  

   the 
  Latin 
  version 
  and 
  on 
  Luther's 
  Bible.
