This is the year not found for sale anywhere. The Edition that Tyndale based his Translation on, & is the most influential Manuscript on all Bibles today, in every language! The publication of Erasmus’ New Testament is the stuff of legends. Before Erasmus, nobody had ever translated from the original Greek to correct Jerome’s Latin translation. Erasmus put his latin rendering of the original Greek side by side with the Greek, making his translation universal, as all the educated in West Europe could speak Latin, thus every country translated his Latin rendering into their own common people’s language, of which, the two of many stars were born, Tyndale & Luther; who both rendered Erasmus’ Latin Rendering of the Greek, word for word into their respective native languages. This is that BIBLE. Tyndale was no expert in the Greek as the legends claim he was master of 7 languages, but Fearless Tyndale moved with the power of Paul. All protestants in the West relied on Erasmus’ Latin rendering of the Greek. All Academics, whether they know it or not, still rely on Erasmus’ teachings. Only he knew Greek.       

In fact, Tyndale was the 1st to ever translate any of Erasmus’ works into english. It’s recently been proven. The earliest english version of Erasmus’ “Christian Knight”. Tyndale was inspired by Erasmus when very young and based his own book “Life of a Christian Man” on Erasmus theme for “Christian Knight”. Poetic that both Erasmus and Tyndale died the same year, 1536, the official height of the reformation. Curiously enough, Erasmus’ translation wouldn’t have went very far had not Pope Leo X gave him official license to do it. Leo protected him. Both Leo X and Erasmus were personal tutors to King Charles V when he was a boy. The King who went on to lead the Spanish Empire into the Americas.

The 1st European colony in America to stick was St. Augustine, Florida, founded by one of King Charles V’s generals, Constantine. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s quite obvious that both Leo X and Erasmus were part of the Augustinian order. The only other serious rival order was the Franciscan Friars, who later became the Jesuits. The reformation’s victories wouldn’t have come if not for Leo X and Erasmus very consciously leading it. It was a civil war at the highest levels; Good old St. Augustine vs. the infiltrating pagans again, whilst the Muslims were flooding Europe, and Erasmus had the leading role in the planning the New World.
