Excerpt from Translations of the Bible: A Chronology of the Versions of the Holy Scriptures Since the Invention of Printing The chronological list is followed by one in alphabetical order, which serves as an index. The number after each name refers to the correspond ing number in the chronological list. We also add a list of so-called diglot editions. In olden times so-called Polyglot Bibles< were published. Some, like the Complutensian and the London or Walton's Polyglot, are heavy folio volumes, ditfi cult to handle, others are of smaller sizes, but all comprise several volumes and are intended more for the student. The modern diglot editions are for practical purposes. As to the facts stated in the chronological list of versions, the reader may supplement in most cases the brief mention in this list by reference to my articles in mcclintock and Strong's Cyclopaedia. Some of those articles contain particulars which could not be given here. Whilst the Historical Catalogue of the Library of the British and Foreign Bible Society referred to above has been of great help in preparing the following pages, I Wish to state that the present list, made up from material long before collected, as stated above, contains versions which are not mentioned in the catalogue of the Library and some which have been published since that magnum Opus was issued.
