The Aldine Bible[1][2][3] (begun by Aldus Manutius) is an edition of the Bible in Greek (the Septuagint is used for the Old Testament) published in Venice in 1518 by the Aldine Press.
Manutius dreamed of a trilingual Bible but never saw it come to fruition.[4] However, before his death Manutius had begun an edition of the Septuagint, also known as the Greek Old Testament translated from Hebrew, the first ever to be published; it appeared posthumously in 1518.[5] This edition is the first complete Bible printed entirely in Greek. The text of this edition is based on the Complutensian text for the Old Testament, and upon the first editon of the New Testament by Erasmus for the New Testament. It was edited by Andreas Asolanus, the father-in-law of Aldus.[6]
