ENGLISH BIBLES - ONLINE FACSIMILES

The history of the English Bible begins at the time of the Roman conquest, when the Latin Vulgate was brought to England and translated into the then "Old English" (Anglo-Saxon). The English language is divided into 4 time periods. The period from 600 to 1150 was determined by the "Anglo-Saxon" (West Saxon) or "Old English". During the years 1150 to 1450/1500 "Middle English" was spoken and in the third period from 1450/1500 to 1750 "Early Modern English" was spoken from which today's "Modern English" developed. The following are the sources for facsimiles of the most important historical English Bibles:
