John Knox's Bible Discovered
Experts believe a unidentified bible held by Glasgow University may have belonged to John Knox - a founding father of the Protestant Reformation. The large Old Testament, which is printed in Hebrew and Latin, was published in 1546 in Switzerland. It was bequeathed to the university in 1864 by William Euing as part of his collection of about 3,000 Bibles. Archivists now believe that a signature dated 1561, on the reverse of the title page, may have been penned by Knox.
The find was revealed in an article posted on the university's webpage by assistant librarian, Robert MacLean. (story from BBC News, Sept. 21)
