"Here endeth the whole Byble after the translacion of Thomas Mathew, ... diligentlye perused and corrected"--Colophon.

"The original Matthew's Bible of 1537 was made up partly from Tyndale's and partly from Cloverdale's translation. Thomas Matthew is commonly regarded as a pseudonym for John Rogers ..., but some think it more correct to consider it as meaning Tyndale ... The present edition closely agrees with Raynalde and Hyll's Bible of 1549, which was reprinted from the Matthew's Bible of 1537"--NUC pre-1956 imprints.
