Doyley Gower, early signature on flyleaf likely the son of Sir Thomas Gower and Anne Doyley of Stittenham, Yorkshire. Gower was a Royalist officer in the English Civil War; bookplate of Clifford Baylis. William Tyndale’s translation of the New Testament was the first to be printed in the English language. The father of the modern English language, and the father of the English Reformation, Tyndale was spurred on by the desire to “cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scripture” than the clergy of the day. He would be killed for this cause in 1536. The translation was bitterly opposed by Bloody Mary and many copies of Tyndale’s Bibles were burned. Research has shown that at least eighty percent of the King James Version is Tyndale’s. USTC records 21 copies in holding with most copies lacking the title page.
