Studies paratexts found in sixteenth-century English bibles, from prefaces, dedications, and annotations to prayers, diagrams, and woodcuts to shed light on the materiality of surviving bibles and on their publication histories, but also on Reformation theology and the history of the English church.
English bibles, from Tyndale's 1525 New Testament to the 1611 King James, feature calendars, woodcuts, maps, chronologies, prayers, philological glosses, inset historical essays, elaborate multi-page diagrams, single-leaf summaries of scripture, prefaces by eminent churchmen, doctrinal notes by leading theologians, a dialogue on predestination, a twelfth-century genealogy of Christ, a ninth-century Jewish chronicle--most widely available, given the hundreds of editions printed between those dates. This book explores this archive, but it also tracks its changes, because while biblical translations remain relatively stable over time, the paratexts cocooning a bible's first printing sometimes mutate or vanish in succeeding editions--and indeed sometimes they migrate to a competing bible. These paratexts, together with their revelatory print histories, disclose a picture of the English Reformation that differs in striking ways from the authorized version.

Debora Shuger received her PhD from Stanford University and since 1989 she has taught at UCLA where she is Distinguished Professor of English. The recipient of fellowships from the National Humanities Center, the Guggenheim, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, and the Bogliasco Foundation, in 2007 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science.
