Bibbia (1471 Malermi), book

Bibbia (1471) is a book by Niccolò Malermi.

Abstract

The first printed Italian Bible, from the Latin Vulgate, included the OT Apocrypha. It is the second known translation of the Bible in a modern language, after the German edition by Johannes Mentelin in 1466. In 1559 Paul IV (as well as his successor Pius IV in 1564) proscribed all printing and reading of the vernacular Scriptures except by permission of the church. Although the Malerbi Bible got such authorization in 1567, the policy of the Church effectively stopped further Catholic translations for the next 200 years, until the publication of La Sacra Bibbia (1769-1781 Martini), book.
