[Antwerp : Printed by Matthew Crom for Richard Grafton and Edward Whitchurch, London,
1537].
"'Thomas Matthew' is commonly treated as a pseudonym of John Rogers (1500?-1555) .. But as Rogers only edited what is essentially Tyndale's translation, it seems more probable that 'Matthew' stands for Tyndale's own name, which it was then dangerous to employ. The text in the Pentateuch adheres closely to Tyndale's version, and the New Testament follows his G.H. edition [see Herbert 15]. In the portion from the end of Ezra to the end of the Apocrypha (including Jonah) it is substantially Coverdale's"--Herbert.
