After the biahobs’ translation of
1568-1589, nothing further in that line
wns accomplished until 1009-1610,
when the Roman Catholics brought
out tile Donat DiUe, so callod because
it was printed at a city of that name.
A year lalcr, in 1011, tlio English
press issued the King James revision.
The translation of 1011 has remained
tho standard up even to this day, not
withstanding the recent revision, tho
merit of which rests almost wholly on
tho fact that "hell” was changed to
“hndes.”
