Valencian Bible


The Valencian Bible was the first printed Bible in the Catalan language. It was first printed between 1477 and 1478. It is the third Bible printed in a modern language. The first printed Bible was the Latin Bible, Vulgate version, printed at Mainz in 1455.
During the Inquisition, all copies were burned, and Daniel Vives, who was considered to be the main author, was imprisoned. However, the translation is now ascribed to Bonifaci Ferrer.
The last surviving paper sheet of this Bible is at the Hispanic Society in New York City.
