Robert Estienne’s densely
annotated 1545 edition of the Latin Bible was the
work of a respected team of humanist scholars based
in Zürich: Leo Juda and Theodorus Bibliander
translated the Old Testament, Petrus Cholinus
translated the Apocrypha, the New Testament was
revised and corrected from the translation of
Erasmus by Rudolphus Gualtherus, and the whole was
edited by Conradus Pellicanus. However, in 1546 the
Faculty of Theology at the Sorbonne condemned this
edition, declaring that it was “scattered with
things that are erroneous, conducive to scandals,
favoring Lutherans, and breathing heresies long ago
condemned.” |
