The finding
What the evidence shows
The Bible was translated into languages other than Latin long before the 1500s. John Wycliffe's team produced a full English translation in the 1380s, more than a century before Luther's German Bible, and even earlier partial vernacular translations existed, including Old English gospel translations from the 10th century.
