George Joye
George Joye (* around 1495 in Renhold / Bedfordshire , † 1553 in London ) assisted William Tyndale in translating the Bible .
He edited, for example, Martin Bucer's Psalm commentary in 1530, published under the pseudonyms James Sawtrye and Lewes Beuchame writings in support of the Reformation in England; own like "Ortulus anime", 1530, as well as a Lollardian (approx. 1300): "The praier and complaynte of the ploweman unto Christe", 1531.
While working on the Bible translation - Joye seems to have adorned herself with Tyndale's feathers - the break with Tyndale took place.
He died in the year of the re-Catholicization of England under Mary I , unclear whether as a martyr of the Reformation.
