THE THREE BIBLES
Gutenberg, Wycliffe, and Wujek: Latin, English and Polish;
Roman Latin content by papal commission from ■Damasus I;
Wujek translation formed by papal permission from ■Gregory XIII;
■Feel welcome to the Latin and Polish too.
Quoted by Moncure Daniel Conway for Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason,
■Conway vol. 4, page 7:
Reason alone can determine how many texts are as spurious as the three heavenly witnesses (1 John v. 7), and like it ‘‘serious’’ enough to have cost good men their lives, and persecutors their charities.
