As early as the fourteenth century, there were a number of hand-written translations of various parts of The Bible. Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1450s, so there were no printed bibles prior to that time. Myles Coverdale printed the first complete English bible on 4 October 1535. John Rogers, using the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew," printed the second English bible in 1537, now known as the Matthew-Tyndale Bible. In 1539, Myles Coverdale published the third English bible, and the first one authorized by the English church for public use. It was known as "The Great Bible," because of its size. In 1560, the Geneva Bible became the fourth bible printed in English. In 1568, the Bishop's Bible, a revised version of the Great Bible, was published, making it the fifth bible printed in English. In 1609, the Douai/Rheims Bible was published, combining the Old Testament translation produced at Douai, France, with the New Testatment translation produced at Rheims. Finally, in 1611, the seventh English-language bible was published. Since its creation had been authorized by King James I, it is known as "The 1611 King James Bible."
