First Printing of the Coverdale Bible

October 4th, 1535 489 years ago

The Coverdale Bible became the first complete Bible printed in English, translated largely by William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale. Printed in Zurich, Switzerland, it included substantial text from Tyndale's earlier translations and was dedicated to King Henry VIII. This translation played a crucial role in making the scriptures accessible to the English-speaking populace and set the stage for future English Bible translations.
