Editing English Hexapla (section)

==Translation texts<sup>[2]</sup>==

The edition of '''Wiclif's translation''' is based on a manuscript belonging to the then late Duke of Sussex.

The edition of William '''Tyndale's translation''' is one revised and published by Tyndale himself in 1534, provided by the Baptist College in Bristol.

'''Cranmer's Bible''' is actually the [[Great Bible]], with a preface written by Cranmer for the second edition in 1540.  The version in the English Hexapla is reprinted from  a first edition of the Great Bible published in 1539, also provided by the Baptist College in Bristol.

The '''Geneva New Testament''' is reprinted from a first edition published in 1557.

The '''Rheims''' edition, also referred to as the "Anglo-Rhemish" translation, is reprinted from the original edition of 1582.  This is a Roman Catholic translation from the Vulgate, first published by the English College at Rheims in that year.

The '''Authorised version''' used is from a [[black letter]] (or gothic script) copy from the year 1611, provided by the Reverend John Henry Montagu Luxmoore.  The Authorised version underwent some revision in 1762 and 1769, with current Authorised versions being the 1769 Oxford University edition virtually unchanged.  Accordingly, the text of the Authorised version in the English Hexapla will show some changes in spelling, punctuation and typesetting, with a very few changes of words, over the "modern" editions of the Authorised versions now available.
