1534 Tyndale Bible PBB
Attached is a Logos formatted edition of the 1534 Tyndale Bible (the New Testament plus the Pentateuch and Jonah).
Tyndale’s Bible is credited with being the first English translation to work directly from Hebrew and Greek texts. Furthermore it was the first English biblical translation that was mass produced as a result of new advances in the art of printing. The term Tyndale's Bible is not strictly correct, because Tyndale never published a complete Bible. Prior to his execution Tyndale had only finished translating the entire New Testament and roughly half of the Old Testament. Of the latter, the Pentateuch, Jonah and a revised version of the book of Genesis were published during his lifetime. His other Old Testament works were first used in the creation of the Matthew Bible and also heavily influenced every major English translation of the Bible that followed.

- You will want your personal book bible to behave as much as possible like a Logos-produced bible does. This will include, but isn't limited to, these functions:
- 'Bible' index. Your bible will need an index to enable it to be in a Link Set with other bible-index resources, to be in a Multi-view with thos, to be able to be navigated by typing in the Reference Box, and to be discovered in a Milestone search.
- The actual bible text will need to be tagged, so that Bible searches will find it, Text Comparison will work, Copy Bible verses will work, etc.
- You will want book names to have MS Word 'Heading 1' style applied, chapter names to be in 'Heading 2'. This will make your Table of Contents pane useful. If your bible has pericope (or section) headings, those will need 'Heading 3' applied.
- Here are examples of the tagging elements:
- Bible Milestone. This is in the form of [[@Bible:John 3:3]] When your PB is compiled, these tags will provide the Bible index.
- (Optional): If you want to be able to mouse-over a verse number and see your Preferred Bible for that verse, use this tag as a replacement for the verse number: [[3|bible:John 3:3]]
- Bible text will need to be marked-off like this: {{field-on:Bible}}Text text text.{{field-off:Bible}}
- You'll need to use Type:Bible in the Personal Book Tool, and also denote the Language. The Language specification is only related to library metadata, so it isn't related to language-marking of the text itself (for purposes of dictionaries, etc.).
- Are you sure the bible you want is not available in Logos? (probably $10-$30). Let us know what translation you're interested in. You might have missed it in a search and we can help.
- Are you needing a non-English translation? If so, tell us what that is; someone might have already posted a PB for it and we can help you look for it.
Thanks Mark!
i bet Word had a real time with all the green underlined spell checking with this file...lol.
Back in the 90's i got to see a bunch of manuscripts and fragments which were on display here in Dallas in the Biblical Arts Museum (they were all protected and under glass). It was a real treat to see all those different works which were hand penned and those off of early printing presses.
Thanks
Thank you, Mark! *smile*
Peace and Joy in the Lord!
It's been a long day; and I'm a bit weary. However! I look forward to tomorrow morning when I will try to make a PBB from you .docx file; and I am very excited about it.
After perusing it a bit, I realise how much work and effort you made to produce this!
I am truly very grateful!
*smile*
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........

Brilliant. Thanks for this Mark. Appreciated.
It will be a great teaching aid: we are indebted to Tyndale.
It may inspire us in our task of preachyng the kyngdome of God and teachynge those thinges which concerned the lorde Iesus with all confidence vnforboden. (Ac 28:31.)
Thanks for that, Mark. It's much appreciated. I love ye olde Englishe! It brings back memories of studying Chaucer at high school!

Dear Sir
Thank you for this translation of Tyndale's.
I have prepared a Commentary for John Trapp, I have four problems with my tags
1) How to make the chapter, verse to display properly.
2) To make the verse show beside the Bible that's open.
3) My Hebrew is not showing up at all.
4) Colour of Hebrew, Greek text?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to post this question on the Logos 4 Mac thread. It will probably be seen more there.
Thanks for sharing your work Mark.
Thanks for this. I've been awaiting the English Bible Collection for over a year now and this puts me one step forward.
Is there a way that I can incorporate the Tyndale Bible into the parallel view of Bibles?
Its done by prioritising the bible

When I try to build the PB it says I need a license. When I go to the suggested link on Logos.com, it says it can't find the file. I have ordered and pre-ordered everything Tyndale I can from Logos. What am I missing here?

erm - the difference between PBs and Logos resources? Or telling us that you use two different machines?
If the latter: PBs currently don't sync between machines, only their metadata do. So when you build it on your home PC and then want to open it on your office PC, it will display a message that says "you have no licence for this product". This message is not geared to the PB situation.
Obviously you can't buy a licence for your Personal Book on logos.com (the message is not helpful, following it to logos.com will not help you at all). In the current 5.3 beta you can "upload" your PB (from the machine you built it on to the Logos cloud) and Logos will download it to all your other desktop machines (not yet implememted: mobile devices). Alternatively you can build the PB on the second machine (use the same source file - you need to copy it over manually) or scan the Logos file (again: copy over manually) which both are not really smooth solutions.
Have joy in the Lord! 
For what its worth, it compiles just fine on my computer.

All you have to do is make a collection with these rules "edition:user" then your personal books with show up on every pc or mac that has Logos 5 installed.
well... its actually a little more complicated than that.All you have to do is make a collection with these rules "edition:user" then your personal books with show up on every pc or mac that has Logos 5 installed.
With the new beta, once it is released, they will all automatically sync. Until then, they only sync the meta data. If you try and open a book on a computer where the book has not been compiled it will give you a license issue error, and if that is clicked, it will take you to a page that doesn't exist on the logos store with another awkward error.
To get around that, you should compile all your PBBs on every computer you intend to use them on, or use a utility like drop box to sync files between computers, and then use the scan command to ensure they are all in the libraries of both pcs (or macs).

Much appreciated... thanks!
Thanks!! This is a great find.
Many thanks for all your time and effort!
Really looking forward to reading something from one of the first English translators who suffered so much to make the Bible available to all.
I wonder if he had any idea how many English speaking people there would be who benefited what he started.[Y]
Thank you very much for your efforts, Mark. Much appreciated.

Welcome to the forums. And you now know why searching the 'old' threads are a useful activity.
Hi Adrien:
Mark is now on staff with Faithlife, so I doubt he'll be able to reply. I can tell you what I know, if that helps.
First, here's a link to the Logos Wiki page for Personal Books, with general information you'll need for any type of personal book you make, bibles or otherwise: https://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books
Here are some notes specifically regarding bibles:
I have done a couple of PB bibles, one of which I can share here as an example. But before I do that, let's try to save you a lot of work with some questions:
If you're certain you need to do a PB, post a three-chapter sample here and I, or someone smarter than I, can offer suggestions on how to proceed. If the technique I used on my PB bible would apply to your source document, I can post the files and provide another of my novellas (oh boy!) to explain it.

Thank you for doing this Mark.
