The 1521 Erasmus Greek New Testament. This rare edition is a First quarto printing of the Greek New Testament of Erasmus; first printing of that text in any format smaller than the 1516 and 1519 small folios; first separate printing of the text in any format. It has been suggested that it was this 1521 separate edition that Martin Luther actually worked from in translating his “September” New Testament of 1522. (see Reuss, p. 30 and Darlow and Moule note at 4598.) |
