"The Martyrdome of Master William Tindale [Tyndale] in Flanders, by Vilvord Castle." Tyndale, covered only with a loincloth and chained to a stake, stands on a platform while the executioner strangles him with a rope; faggots are propped on the platform in preparation for burning Tyndale’s body. Tyndale speaks: "Lord ope [open] the King of Englands eyes." A crowd of clergy, civilians, and soldiers gathers around the platform to witness the martyrdom of Tyndale, who illegally translated the Bible into English. Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11222/18 and 11223/49, which appear in all four early English editions (1563, 1570, 1576, 1583). JPEG file (440 KB).
