Edward de Vere's Bible





Roger Stritmatter explains that the Geneva Bible, in the possession of the Folger Library in Washington, D.C., once belonging to Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, is full of annotations and underlinings that resonate with the themes and turns of phrase in the plays of Shakespeare. 

Dr. Stritmatter eventually wrote a thesis based on his discoveries; this tape was made when he was a doctoral candidate, still examining the evidence.

This segment was produced by John Mucci and Gary Goldstein, and was photographed by David McGoldrick. Keith Darby is narrator. 

(This tape was taken from my VHS copy of the program, which unfortunately does not have the first few minutes of the segment. Once I can get the proper machine to transfer the whole thing, which will also improve the quality, the opening will be present)
