Notes
The Geneva Bible, first published in 1560, is a significant English translation of the Bible, known for being one of the earliest versions accessible to the general public. Produced by Protestant exiles in Geneva during Queen Mary I’s reign, it was widely popular among English Puritans and was the Bible used by figures such as William Shakespeare and the Pilgrims. Notable for its marginal notes offering commentary from a Reformation perspective, it influenced later translations like the King James Version. Its use of clear, accessible language helped make it a cornerstone of English biblical scholarship.
