This book is a critical edition of John Bale's The Image of Both
Churches (c. 1545). The Introduction provides a thorough overview
of this sixteenth century work, explaining its relationship to the
apocalyptic tradition and to Bale's important inspirations, from
Augustine to Erasmus and Luther. Topics such as Bale's language,
the place of the Image in his oeuvre, his use of medieval
chronicles, and the influence of his exegesis are also discussed.
The Image has often been called Bale's most important work; it
articulated and developed the English Protestant view of the
Apocalypse, influencing other Reformers both in England and on the
continent. This book offers the first critical edition of the
Image, including fully modernized spelling and punctuation as well
as extensive explanatory notes. The five sixteenth-century printed
editions of the Image are collated here, with textual notes that
illustrate the relationship between variant readings and provide
information on the choices made in this particular edition. This
book also reproduces the striking woodcut illustrations from the
Image in their original placements; examples from two different
woodcut series are offered, as well as an overview of the history
and importance of these images in the early printed texts. Five
appendices, including a glossary of unfamiliar terms and a chart
outlining Bale's periodization of history, also provide a wealth of
information that enables readers to understand and use this
edition. The largest appendix, on historical names and terminology,
gives biographical information for 450 individuals and explains
their importance, both to Bale and to the sixteenth-century
Reformers in a broader context. This critical edition of the Image
offers the most thorough study of the work to date, opening up the
opportunity for a deeper understanding of this monumental text and
for many further avenues of research.
