5B, 1826 Old and New Testament
Notes
The 1826 Old and New Testament is a notable edition of the Bible that includes both the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and the Christian Greek Scriptures (New Testament). Published during a period of significant religious movements, this version often reflects the traditional Protestant Christian canon. Editions from this time are typically marked by formal language and careful attention to translation, aiming to be both accessible to lay readers and faithful to the original texts. The 1826 publication also coincides with a growing emphasis on missionary work and the spread of Christian texts across Europe and the Americas.
