About

The Translating the Bible exhibition in Christ Church's Upper Library marks 500 years since the publication of William Tyndale's New Testament, tracing how the text has travelled across languages, cultures and centuries. Drawing predominantly on Christ Church Library's collections, it features a 13th-century French manuscript New Testament and translations by Wycliffe, Coverdale and Tyndale, along with Brasenose College's 13th-century Founder's Bible, lent by the Principal and Governing Body and exhibited publicly for the first time. The exhibition runs from 13 October to 16 December; Tuesday viewings are 10am–1pm, Wednesday viewings 1–4pm, and other times by appointment. There is no step-free access to the Upper Library.
