Richard Jugge’s edition of Tyndale’s New Testament translation Included revisions of Tyndale’s original translation that Jugge felt brought the English translation closer to the original Greek. Jugge also included some of his own notes throughout the text, written in the margins. These footnotes were likely the first of their kind, and many scholars credit the invention of the academic-style footnote to Richard Jugge.
