THE BIBLE.
A VERSION of the Bible appeared in Spain in 1478, before Luther was thought of, and almost before he was born. In Italy, the countiy most peculiarly under the sway of Papal dominion, the Scriptures were translated into Italian by Malermi, at Venice, in 1471 ; and this version was published seventeen times before that of Luther appealed . A second version, of parts of Scripture, was published in 1472 ; a third at Rome, in 1481 : a fourth in Venice, in 1522 : and a corrected edition, in 1538 : two years after Luther had completed his. Acid every one of these came out. not only with the approbation of the ordinary authorities, but with that of the inquisition, which approved o£ their being published, distributed, and promulgated. — Dr. Wiseman,
