Thomas More Book 1532 ?
Diane wrote:
I have a book called The Cofutacyon of Tyndales Answere. The book is dated 1532. Could anyone let me know whether this would be a 1st edition ? No, it's a cheap reprint. I'll take it off your hands, though, if you like... Seriously, for books to 1640, go to the Short-Title Catalogue. The book you refer to is STC 18079 . That gives 9 holding libraries and indicates there are others. COPAC (http://www.copac.ac.uk/copac/wzgw?f=...2FT&id=2800862) is a useful online reference (as is OCLC), but the STC is the definitive bibliography. Tyndale's book, of which this is a refutation, is STC 24437. A second part was published in 1533. Yes, this was the first edition. The second (as far as I can ascertain) was in 1973! And, finally...um...I'm jealous as hell. -- John http://rarebooksinjapan.com |

Seriously, for books to 1640, go to the Short-Title Catalogue. The book you
refer to is STC 18079 . That gives 9 holding libraries and indicates there are others. COPAC (http://www.copac.ac.uk/copac/wzgw?f=...2FT&id=2800862) is a useful online reference (as is OCLC), but the STC is the definitive bibliography. Tyndale's book, of which this is a refutation, is STC 24437. A second part was published in 1533. Actually, even better than the STC these days is the online ESTC (not the Extra-Short Title Catalogue, but the English Short-Title Catalogue), which includes all of the original STC plus Wing plus the Eighteenth-Century Short-Title Catalogue (which was what ESTC originally stood for). All the known titles published in the British Isles and North America, plus titles in English printed abroad, from 1475 until 1800, and fully searchable. As well as the details included in the original printed books, the ESTC has fuller entries including additional bibliographic descriptions in most cases. (I think that's right, it's a little while since I've used it.) Not sure how many libraries make it available, but any university or research library should be able to provide you with access.
