	The reference work ~~THE DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY~~ noted that John Bois wrote a manuscript that "consists of brief critical notes, in which the renderings of the Vulgate are in the main defended, but Bois frequently proposes more exact translations of his own, both Latin and English" (p. 775). John M'Clintock and James Strong noted that Bois' only published work was "a vindication of the Vulgate version of the New Testament" (~~CYCLOPAEDIA OF BIBLICAL~~, ~~THEOLOGICAL~~, ~~AND ECCLESIASTICAL LITERATURE~~, Vol. I, p. 869).
