Shaping the Bible in the Reformation: Books, Scholars and Their Readers in the Sixteenth Century: Library of the Written Word / Library of the Written Word - The Handpress World, cartea 20

Editat de Bruce Gordon, Matthew McLean
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 iun 2012
This volume presents significant new research on several key aspects of the late mediaeval and early modern Bible. The essays in this collection deal with Bible scholarship and translation, illustration and production, Bible uses for lay devotion, and the role of Bibles in theological controversy. Inquiring into the ways in which scholars gave new forms to their Bibles and how their readers received their work, this book considers the contribution of key figures such as Castellio, Bibliander, Tremellius, Piscator and Calov. In addition, it examines the exegetical controversies between several centres of Reformed learning as well as among the theologians of Louvain. It encompasses biblical illustration in the Low Countries and the use of maps in the Geneva Bible, and considers the practice of Bible translation, and the strategies by which new versions were justified.

Recenzii

“The Bible industry of the sixteenth century is one that manifests different forms of agency: those of the textualist, the translator, the interpreter, the printer, the bookseller, and many others besides. The essays in Gordon and McLean’s volume tell us much about these roles, and the social context in which they were enacted. The territory is familiar to those with an interest in early modern Bible studies, but the essays explore unfamiliar corners of it.”
Amlan Das Gupta, Jadavpur University, in: Spenser Review 43.2.35 (Fall 2013)

“Each of the essays is expertly written and the volume is exceptionally informative. […] Scholars and students will wish to make use of these essays and the volume should find a place on research library shelves at every institution where the Reformation is taught as a subject.”
Jim West, in: Zwingliana, Vol. 43 (2016), pp. 426–428.
