5. Versions of the Reformed Church. — Of these the first was the production of David Parens, and appeared in 1579. It was superseded l)y that of J. Piscator in 1G02, of which many editions have appeared. A trans- lation of the N. T., by Amandus Polanus, appeared in 1603. In 1GG5 a new translation for the use of the Swiss churches appeared at Zurich, the authors of which were Hottinger, Suicer, Fusslin, and others. In Holland various attempts were made to produce versions direct from the originals. In 1556 J. Uiten- hoven issued the N. T., and in 1562 the whole Bible ; and in 1587 appeared the Bilde translated l^y J. Hackius, which chiefly follows the Geneva [French] Bible.
6. Authorized Versions. — In the year 1G18 the Synod of Dort appointed a commission of 22 members to pre- pare a new version ; this appeared in 1637, and re- ceived the authorization of the States General. This is the authorized Dutch version. The Danish version was completed in 1607 by P. J. Resen, and in 1647 ap- peared with the roj'al sanction, after it had been care- fully revised by Hans Svaning, aichbishop of Zealand. The Icelandic version received its permanent form in 1644 from Thorlak Skuleson, the grandson of Thorlak- son, and his successor in the episcopate. The author- ized Swedish version was completed under the au- spices of Gustavus III. ; it consists of a revised edition of the work of Andrea and Petri, and appeared in 1618.
7. Roman Catholic Versions. — The earliest of these is the N. T. of Emser, " nach lawt der christliche Kirchen bewerten Text," etc., sine loc. 1527, fol., Leipz. 1529,, 8vo, and often since. In 1534 the Bible of Dictcn- berger (q. v.) apjieared at Maycnce ; and in 1537, that of Eck (q. V.) at Ingolstadt. Previous to these, Cas- per Ulenlierg had translated the Bible in accordance with the Sixtine text of the Vulgate, and this transla- tion, revised bj' the Jesuits at Mayence in 1G61, ap- peared as Die Catholische Bibel. Revised editions were issued by Ehrhai-d in 1722, and hj Cartier in 1751 ; and it has been often reprinted both with and without the Latin text. More recent versions by Ro- man Catholics are those of Salzmann (Lux. 1770), Wittola (Vien. 1775), Weitenauer (Augs. 1777), Fleis- chutz (Fuld. 1778), Rosalino (Vien. 1781), Fischer (Prag. 1784), Braun (Vienna, 1786), Lauber (1786), Mutschelle (Munich, 1789), Weyl (JMay, 1789), Krach (Aug. 1790), Brentano, Dereser, and Scholz (1790- 1833), Babor (1805), Van Ess (1807), Schnappfinger (1807), Widemann (1809), Kistemaker (1825), Scholz (1828), AUioli (1838), Loch and Reischl (1857). Of these, the majority are confined to the N. T. The trans- lations of Van Ess, Scholz, and Allioli have been re- peatedly issued. Gossner, pastor of the Bohemian Church in Berlin, published a translation of the N. T. from the Greek in 1815, which has often been reprinted.
8. Other Versions. — In 1630 J. Crell issued a German translation of the Bible in the interests of Socinianism; and in 1660 another, in the interests of Arminianism, was published by Jer. Felbinger. The Remonstrant party in Holland published a translation in Dutch, made by Chr. Hartsoeker, in 1680. In 1666 a Jewish translation of the O. T. into German was published by Joseph Athias ; this, along with the versions of Luther, Piscator, Caspar Ulenbcrg, the Dutch A. V., and a ver- sion of the N. T. by J. H. Reitzcn, printed in parallel columns, was published under the title of Biblia Pen- tapla (3 vols. 4to, Hamb. 1711). Of German ver- sions of more recent date there are manj'.
