Additional Details

Originally appearing in a 1557 Vulgate printed by Robert Estienne that included alternate translations, Bèze's Latin New Testament was first published separately in 1574 by Vautrollier. It served as the basis for Laurence Tomson's revision of the Geneva Bible New Testament. STC 2805; cf. Rumball-Petre 201.
