Description: Strype (John) The Life and Acts of Matthew Parker, the first Archbishop of Canterbury during Queen Elizabeth's reign, whose influence and primacy helped to successfully carry out religious reformation and reestablish the Church of England. London: John Wyat; 1711 engraved frontispiece with Parker's picture, red and black title, foxing, and toning. First edition of this extensively regarded biography of Matthew Parker—chaplain to Anne Boleyn, creator of the Bishops' Bible, and very significant book collector—in original blind-paneled calf, joints split, folio: 8.5 by 13"; text in English. Parker, one of the most prominent reformers in England, searched early writings for proof that the English church had long before functioned independently of Rome. The result of their labor was an unparalleled collection of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, now housed at the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College in Cambridge. John Strype was an English clergyman, writer, and historian who lived from 1 November 1643 until 11 December 1737.
