The English Hexapla (pronounced “HEX-UH-PLA”) gives you all six of the most important ancient English translations of the scriptures in easy-to-compare parallel columns, with the original Greek at the top, and a 160-page detailed preface telling the story of how each translation led to the next. From 1380 through 1611; it’s all here: the 1380 Wycliffe (1st English translation), the 1534 Tyndale (1st printed English translation), the 1539 Cranmer / Great Bible (1st legally authorized English translation), the 1557 Geneva (1st English Bible taken to America), the 1582 Rheims (1st Roman Catholic English translation), and the 1611 King James (the most printed English translation).
