Baudrier VIII 241 not having seen or located a copy citing Brunet supplement II 712" "Even before the complete edition of Castellio's Latin Bible appeared Enzinas who had already produced a Spanish Bible New Testament in Antewerp in 1543 had translated the Psalter the Wisdom of Solomon Jesus Sirach present copy and the book of Job into Spanish. All of these appeared with the false address 'En Leon en casa de Sebastian Grypho' though they were in fact his translations from manuscript versions of Castellio's edition. Enzinas continued to work on his translations until his death on 30 December 1552. He had planned to have his Spanish Bible printed in Geneva but this fortunately for Calvin never came to pass."

Paul Getty Museum A Thousand Years of the Bible 70�with much woodcut ornamentation complete in contemporary reverse paneled calf boards.Queen Elizabeth I ""encouraged a renewed interest in the English Bible but the Great Bible prepared by Miles Coverdale and published in 1540 was still the version authorized for church use. It was clear that the Geneva Bible published 1560 by Calvinist exiles in Switzerland was in many ways a superior translation; some of its notes however were offensive to the Crown. Consequently it seemed advisable to undertake a revision of the Great Bible. Matthew Parker Archbishop of Canterbury headed the revision committee which included many bishops and well-known biblical scholars. Few changes were made in the Old Testament. There is evidence of genuine scholarly learning in the changes to the New Testament where Parker himself worked� The new authorized version was called the 'Bishops' Bible because of the dominant role they played"" Bible 100 Landmarks 63. First published 1568. The 1602 edition would serve as the basis of the King James Bible 1611.
