| For what is William Tyndale known? |
|
Definition
1500s
Simple Answer-
He did the first printed of the GK NT version in English of the entire Bible.
Was influenced by Luther's work and possibly Eramus's work.
Detailed answer-
He was a 15th century scholar who attended Oxford and taught there before going to Cambridge and following Luther and his teachings. It was there, possibly influenced by Luther, that Tyndale became proficient in Greek.
Men opposed what Tyndale was doing and so he went on the run, translating the Bible on his way, and hiding in homes.
In 1525 he went to Cologne to have his NT printed, but was shut down before the process was completed so he ran with his 6,000 already printed copies of Matthew 1-22.
In 1526 the rest of his Bible was printed, and were smuggled into England.
Tunstall tried to buy up all the copies to keep them from spreading.
in 1535 Tyndale's life was in danger since Charles V thought him to be a heretic, so he had tyndale kidnapped out of the "safe city he was in (Antwerp) so he could imprison him.
In 1536 while still trying to translate the OT in prison Tyndale was finally burnt at the stake. |

| What is Erasmus known for? |
|
Definition
He was the first to translate the Greek NT into English in the 15th century.
first greek NT in 1516
He was the illegitimit son of a priest. he joined a monosary but left in order to furthe rhis education. He felt as though "theology was the handmaiden of grammar" and felt as though he had to learn the actual language of the text.
He was on a time crunch, so he took the manuscripts available, which were 6 minuscule GK NT manuscripts. But they were very flawed. hundred of errors. The oldest and most reliable "Codex 1" he used the least. And he added the Vulgate where the manuscipts left out and then added where he felt all of it left out. (added word not found in GK)
It was less acurate then Stunica's but was more popular due to it appearing first, eing cheaper and coming in an easier size.
Dispite its many flaws Erasnus's GK NT went throguh 5 different editions. Tyndale used the 3rd ed. for his English translation.
Erasmus's text became the standardized text for the next 400 years. |
