1549 1607 Biblical Christi College Oxford Reynolds Scholar Translator
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, John Rainolds (also spelled Reynolds), a prominent biblical scholar and translator, is depicted in his scholarly attire, reflecting his deep commitment to the study of sacred texts. The image captures Rainolds in the prime of his career, during his tenure as President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, from 1577 until his death in 1607. Born in 1549, Rainolds was an English Protestant theologian and academic who played a significant role in the translation of the Bible into English. He was a member of the team that produced the Geneva Bible, an influential Protestant translation that was widely used during the Elizabethan era. Rainolds' expertise in Greek and Hebrew languages, as well as his deep knowledge of the original texts, made him an invaluable contributor to this groundbreaking project. In this portrait, Rainolds is shown wearing a black academic gown with a white ruff collar, signifying his status as a scholar and academic. His serious expression and introspective gaze suggest the depth of his intellectual pursuits. The intricately patterned background adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the image, further emphasizing Rainolds' stature as a respected figure in the world of biblical scholarship. Rainolds' time at Corpus Christi College was marked by his dedication to the education of young scholars and his efforts to promote the study of the classics. He was also a vocal advocate for religious reform and played a role in the establishment of the Hampton Court Conference in 1604, which led to the authorization of the King James Version of the Bible. Rainolds' legacy as a biblical scholar, translator, and academic leader continues to be celebrated in the annals of Oxford University and beyond.
