Abstract
Miles Coverdale’ s determined efforts to translate the Bible into English places him next in importance to his friend William Tyndale as a leader in the English Reformation. Coverdale’s youth is obscure until about 1506, when he began his studies for the priesthood at the Austin Friary at Cambridge. He was ordained at Norwich in 1514. It was in this or the next year that Tyndale was ordained, but their friendship probably did not begin until Tyndale arrived at Cambridge in 1519.
