English Protestant exiles who had fled persecution under Mary I prepared this Bible in Geneva, with William Whittingham leading the translators. The complete Bible appeared in 1560 and drew on the Hebrew and Greek texts as well as earlier English translations. Its manageable format and extensive explanatory notes helped readers study the Bible at home. It became widely read in Britain, although its Reformed interpretation provoked opposition from some church leaders and later King James I. See Cambridge University Library’s exhibition notes.
