The Bug Bible

Among the literary curiosities in the Southampton library, England, is an old Bible known as the “Bug Bible,” printed by John Daye, 1551, with a prologue by Tyndall. It derives its name from the peculiar rendering of the fifth verse in the 91st Psalm, which reads thus: “So that thou shalt not need to be afraid for any bugs by night.”
