THE ONLY Edition in which Erasmus put Jerome’s Latin Vulgate that he was correcting, parallel to the Greek and his own Latin rendering of the Greek. This Edition is hard to find anywhere, and if you do, expect to pay at least $500. This copy is Beautiful and ALL can be clearly read. The 1527 Three Column is Erasmus’ 4th Edition, the last before his last.

QUALITY
The print is perfectly bold, crisp, & clear, unlike most facsimiles with spotted print. This is an original work of ours, & we’ve taken special care with formatting the scans of the original manuscript. We chose thick, chemical free parchment paper that’ll last forever & doesn’t age. For the binding, we used our secret glue not traditional to bookmaking, & a lot of it. The spine is harder than any hard cover. This beauty is built like a tank, to withstand years of combat & study.

History of the Erasmus Greek New Testament
The publication of Erasmus’s New Testament is the stuff of legends. Before Erasmus, nobody had ever translated from the original Greek to correct Jerome’s translation. Erasmus purposely made his translation universal, as all the educated in West Europe can speak Latin. Thus he put his latin rendering side by side with the Greek. This is the translation of the reformation. This is what all Bibles are based on. Both Luther and Tyndale rendered their translations virtually word for word what Erasmus had translated into Latin. The myth’s grew greater than the reality. Tyndale was no expert in the Greek, but moved with the power of Paul. All protestants in the West relied on Erasmus’ Latin rendering of the 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 constantly. 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 & Erasmus were part of the Augustinian order. The only other serious rival order was the Fransican 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.
