Local Councillor \u00a0Mike Skinner (LD, St Marks, St Pauls and St Peters, Cheltenham) recently contacted the University Archive to enquire about a donation of an ornate New Testament dating from 1841 that he kindly donated to the institution back in 2001 (university archive reference C-03-01-3).<\/span><\/div>\n

The \u201cEnglish Hexapla\u201d contains six translations of the New Testament along with the \u201coriginal Greek text after Scholz\u201d, meaning various translations can be compared next to each other. These are:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wyclif – 1353<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tyndale – 1534<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cramner – 1539<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Genevan – 1557<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anglo-Rhemish – 1582<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Authorised version \u2013 1611<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The University Archive holds various Bibles and this edition is unique amongst these in letting the researcher compare various translations in one edition. It is a beautifully bound volume in good condition considering it is 161 years old.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The volume came from Cllr Skinner\u2019s great great uncle Aubrey Townshend, who was given the book by his brother Edward as a gift. <\/span><\/div>\n
