| 1378 Wycliffe NT: First Printed Edition (1731) This 1731 publication of Wycliffe's circa 1378 translation of the scripture in English is the first printed edition of the first English translation of God's Word! It is an extremely important milestone in printing history, and Biblical history. Only 160 copies of this book were printed in 1731, and fewer than 10 of them are known to exist today. They are valued at close to $100,000 each. You can own a beautiful copy of the first printed edition of the first English translation of the scriptures for a tiny fraction of that cost.
