First edition of the Gospels in Anglo-Saxon, with parallel text in English. It is one of four books printed in Anglo-Saxon types by John Daye for Matthew Parker (1504-1575), Archbishop of Canterbury, who in 1574 left his marvellous collection of over 600 medieval manuscripts to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
What is notable about the Alexander Turnbull Library copy is the inscription found on the title-page, which notes that this book was presented as a gift by Parker to the lawyer and MP Sir John Savile (1546-1607) of the Middle Temple on 15 August 1571.
The volume was received by the Turnbull Library in 1974 as part of the Sir Arthur Howard bequest.

What many of us saw coming since Reagan is here. Evangelistic ayatollahs who are masters of doublespeak. In the bastion of “FREEDOM”
I will try not to crowd my feed with this kind of thing. We all are living this.
Family legend has it that my great-grandmother, Rindia, gave her church a large insurance settlement that her son S.E. received after being terribly injured in a car accident when he was only 17.
Afterward, my mom says, Rindia and S.E. were too poor to buy food or firewood. My mom remembers going with her mom, my granny, to their little house in Grand Prairie, on the outskirts of Dallas, to give them provisions long after Granny had divorced my mom’s father (another of Rindia’s sons), Robert.
Rindia and S.E. went to Bethel Temple in Oak Cliff. The church was or would soon become “the largest Assembly of God Church in America.” Although my grandfather evidently reviled the minister, Albert Ott, for taking the money, my mom says Rindia herself never complained.
Several years back, I found documentation of the accident in the Dallas Morning News archives. “Skull is crushed as truck is hit,” one story read.
Then, last year, I visited the Dallas Public Library and unearthed court documents showing that the full settlement, awarded on May 5, 1936, was $4400 (about $75,000 in today’s dollars). The court held on to the funds until May 12, when the lawyers received $1466, and the doctors received $934. Later that year, Rindia petitioned for distribution of the remaining $2000 (about $34,000 in today’s dollars), which must be what she gave to the church.
