The Sep- tuaglnt was much In um Chrlstalnlty had penetrated the Latln- qieaklng areas of Roman Africa by the latter part of the second century. Latin vertiems produced from Greek texts began to ap> pear. No tradition about the date, place or authorship of the • first manuscripts In Latin survives. It Is known of certalidty that the SclUltan Martyers at Carthage had ^ their box of roUs, ‘Tatters of Paul, the just man,” In the year 180 A.D. Tp»y were evidently concerned to preserve the Pauline the first real effort to produce the Scriptures In language that the people could understand. These early Anglo4texon efforU, based upon Latin ren derings, were almost futile. The texts were fragmentary, often con- By Tertulllan's day, whose writings are dated 20-40 years Uter, the whole Bible seems to have been extant In Latin. His translations were from the Greek text. Cyprian, writing between 240 and 200 A.D., quoted ac curately from the Latin Bible. It may therefore be Inferred that the New Testament was rendered Into Latin, possibly at Oarthafs, tow^ tiie of the second cAtury. A flood of manuscripts had come Into existence by the time Jerome, the leading scholar of hla day, was called to Rome for the purpose of undertaking a complete revision. Ouelessneaa and lack of literary skill was damaging the Inspired Word. Jerome began the task In 882 A.D. When his finished product was officially adopted It became known as the Latin Vulgate. The term means "common or public use.” There Is no way of estimating the value of Jerome’s service to the preservation and promulgation of Bible truth. Later translation Into other languages, came to be Indebted to his monumental work In was however, a step In the right direction. King Alfred, who ascended the West Saxon throne at the age of twenty- two, In the year 871 A.D., put forth a determined effort to circulate the Scriptures among his subjects. He personally worked at the task of translating, but like Chedmon and Bede, he died without attaining the desired objective. A priesthood, directly responsible to Rome, was built up In Great Britain. Prior to 1280 A.D., the books of the Bible were solid, with no divisions according to chapters and verses. In that year a Chrdlnal by the name of Hugo, separated the books Into chapters while working on a Latin con- cordance. The arrangement of verses John WycUffe, the great EngUsh statesman and reformer, was bom In 1820. He Uved slxty-fbur years. His adult life was characterised by achievements of utmost Importance to the progress of the church. The ec clesiastical organisation of Teutons Invaded the British Isles In the middle part of the fifth century. Eight hundred years In tervened before an authoritative edition of the Scriptures appeared In the Anglo-Saxon language.The Latin version was regarded as highest authority during this long violent oppoeltlon. Twenty-two years ware required to produce the first WycUffe Bible. The Latin Vulgate, Hebrew, and Greek texts were used as the basis for the tran slation. When finished. It became the first complete Bible ever seen In the EngUsh language. Its appearance marked the dawn of a new day In the westward march of civilisation. In reaUty two WycUffe | versions were produced. Uie first. was written under hla It Parts of It w stiff, awkward i sometimes unlntelUglble I from adhering too closely { to the original Latin.
