English bibles, from Tyndale's 1525 New Testament to the 1611 King
James, feature calendars, woodcuts, maps, chronologies, prayers,
philological glosses, inset historical essays, elaborate multi-page
diagrams, single-leaf summaries of scripture, prefaces by eminent
churchmen, doctrinal notes by leading theologians, a dialogue on
predestination, a twelfth-century genealogy of Christ, a
ninth-century Jewish chronicle-most widely available, given the
hundreds of editions printed between those dates. This book
explores this archive, but it also tracks its changes, because
while biblical translations remain relatively stable over time, the
paratexts cocooning a bible's first printing sometimes mutate or
vanish in succeeding editions-and indeed sometimes they migrate to
a competing bible. These paratexts, together with their revelatory
print histories, disclose a picture of the English Reformation that
differs in striking ways from the authorized version.
