Erasmus’s crowning achievement in Bible translation was the first published print edition of the Greek New Testament. It was issued in 1516, four years before the Complutensian Polyglot, which was printed in six volumes between 1514 and 1517 but delayed for publication until 1520 waiting for papal approval. This fifth and final edition of Erasmus’s New Testament was issued in 1535, prior to his death in 1536. Unlike the preceding fourth edition, this final rendition omitted the text of the Vulgate. This copy contains the Greek New Testament text only and not Erasmus’s Annotationes, which were bound separately.
