About This Item
New Haven: Yale University Press, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/near fine. The book and jacket are about As New in all respects. First printing, full number line. From the flap: "Jaroslav Pelikan begins by discussing the philological foundations of the "reformation" of the Biblical text, focusing on the revival of Greek and Hebrew language study and the important contributions to textual criticism by humanist scholars. He then examines the changing patterns of interpretation and communication of the Biblical text, the proliferation of vernacular versions of scripture and their impact on various national cultures, and the impact of the Reformation Bible on art, music, and literature of the period. The book is richly illustrated with examples of early printed editions of Bibles, commentaries, sermons, vernacular translations, and other works with Biblical themes, all of which are identified and discussed." The catalog for a major exhibition of early Bibles and Reformation texts that was been organized at Bridwell Library, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, the exhibition traveled to the Yale Center for British Art, the Houghton Library and the Widener Library at Harvard University, and the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University.Books and other items ship promptly with a tracking number and (generally over $15.00) jacket protectors if applicable.
