Before the religious reforms brought about in the middle of the 16th C there was no liturgical unity in England. Although the Roman Rita was in use throughout the and, it was modified in altered in catain repecta following the accepted usage of the great cathedral churches. The 5 chief 'uses' were those of Salisburg (which differed least from the Roman use) York, Hereford, Bangor and Lincol. Of lesser importance were those of Aberdeen, Abinton, Coyland and London. Canterburg adopted The Serum Use which lasted until 1534 and was revived during the few years of Mary's reign. - [illegible] a maas-book, which contained all the recited a chanted texts of the Mass. After the Norman Conquest it followed as a matter of course that the liturgy used in England should have much in common, except certain officers for saints Londere locally, that of the church at Rowen.

The Tavern Bible - printed by John Bydell fn Thomas Berthelet in 1539. The book is a revision of Matthew, or a much less thorough revision than that of the Great Bible.

in 1538 an edition of Coverdale's New Testament was published in 16 mo only a few copies are extant

- In Luther's New Testament of 1522 he separated the last books (Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelation) from the 1st 23, fn he did not think the 4 books had the same high canonical quality as the "capital books". - Coverdale's Bible was the 1st to introduce chapter summaries as distinct from the terse chapter headings found in copies of the Vulgate. 3) the first to separate the books of the Apocrypha from the other Old Testament books and print them by themselves as an appendix T. the Old Testament - According to Lovett the 1537 edition his 56 different woodblocks in a total of 94 illustrations. 3 of the 1535 Bible were not used, + the Apocrypha has only 1 in the text as compared with 33 in the 1535 edition. 1537 - the edition was in fact littl emore than tyndale Coverdale text differently mainly in the use of the illustrations woodcuts.

- In the Book of Durrow, St John's symbol is not the usual Eagle but, following the pre-Jerome order, the lion.

- Although before the end of the 15th C Bibles had been printed in German, Italian, French, Dutch, Danish, Bohemian + Spanish, England was sitll without a printed Bible in the Tongue of the people. Caxton could not have printed one for in 1414 a law was enacted that all person found reading the Scriptures in the mother Tongue shold 'forfeit lant, atel, lif + goods from their heyres for ever.

The excellence of Coverdale's work lies in its literary quality from the point of view of English usage, rather than in its textual bases or translational accuracy. ("a translation from translations")

The provenance of the 1535 Coverdale Bible remains still a matter of mystery.

The main biblical text of the Coverdale edition 1535 was divided into 6 main sections: Pentateuch, Historical Books, Hagiographa (poetical books) Prophets, Apocrypha, New Testament. woodcut illustrations appear in the text comprising 68 different instances in a total of some 158 places.

1535 - Bible - the generall title is accepted as Holbeun's design. The smaller cuts (67) by repetition over 150 reappear in Nicolson's folios of 1537 + Day + Seres' reprint of the Matthew Bible of 1549.

James Nicholson (1535-38) address: Southward St. Thomas Hospital although he was known to be alive a a considerably later date, no book was printed by him after 1538.
