Beschreibung:

Title page from the Great Bible published by Grafton and Whitchurch in 1539. It depicts an enthroned Henry VIII receiving the Word of God and bestowing it upon his bishops and archbishops (top third), who in turn deliver it to the priests (middle third). Finally, the laity hear the Word and loyally recite, "Vivat Rex" and "God save the kynge" (bottom third).

The Byble in Englyſhe, that is to ſaye the content of all the holy ſcrypture, bothe of þe olde and newe teſtament, truly tranſlated after the veryte of the Hebrue and Greke textes, by þe dylygent ſtudye of dyuerſe excellent learned men, expert in the forſayde tonges. Prynted by Rychard Grafton & Edward Whitchurch. Cum priuilegio ad imprimendum ſolum. 1539.
