Description

William Tyndale's essay on Christ's parable of the unjust steward (Luke 16) was 1 of 18 works prohibited in England by mandate of the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1526. Influenced by Martin Luther's tract in 1522, Tyndale's version likely was in print by 1526, although no copy of that date survives. The earliest extant copies are from an edition published in Antwerp in 1528 by an anonymous printer who used a false imprint claiming that it had been produced by one of Luther's leading publishers in Marburg, Germany.
