Emmanuel College was founded by Sir Walter Mildmay in 1584, Emmanuel College is located near the center of Cambridge, where this Bible was published. Mildmay developed Protestant leanings during his early adulthood and throughout his various political positions he always sought to protect Protestants and their interest. Building his Emmanuel College on a site formerly home to the Dominican Friars, he extended the intensity of their education to his Protestant students. Even today students an study theology in the school; however, its program has greatly extended into other areas of learning.
