	Miles Coverdale (1488-1569~~) helped~~ to ~~translate~~ many ~~versions~~ of the [[~~bible~~]].		'''Myles Coverdale''' (Also spelled '''Miles Coverdale''') (c. 1488 – 20 January 1569<ref>{{cite book \|first=Margot \|last=Lawrence \|chapter=Miles Lawrence \|title=The Oxford Companion to the English Language \|editor=Tom McArthur (ed.) \|location=Oxford \|publisher=Oxford University Press \|page=268 \|date=1992 \|isbn=0-19-214183-X }}</ref>) was a [[1600s\|16th-century]] [[Bible]] translator who produced the first complete printed translation of the Bible into [[English language\|English]].

			==Life==
			He was born probably in the district known as [[Coverdale (dale)\|Coverdale]], in that [[Districts of England\|district]] of the [[North Riding of Yorkshire]] called [[Richmondshire]], [[England]], in or around 1488. He studied at [[University of Cambridge\|Cambridge]] (bachelor of canon law 1531), became priest at [[Norwich]] in 1514 and entered the convent of Austin friars at Cambridge, where [[Robert Barnes]] was prior in 1523 and probably influenced him in favor of [[English Reformation\|Reform]]. When Barnes was tried for heresy in 1526, Coverdale assisted in his defence and shortly afterward left the convent and gave himself entirely to preaching.

			===Bible translator===
			From 1528 to 1535, he appears to have spent most of his time on the Continent. In 1535 he published the first complete English Bible in print, the so-called [[Coverdale Bible]]. As Coverdale was not proficient in Hebrew or Greek, he used 'five soundry interpreters' in Latin, English and 'Douche' (German) as source text. He made use of [[Tyndale\|Tyndale's]] translation of the [[New Testament]] (following Tyndale's November 1534 Antwerp edition) and of those books which were translated by Tyndale: the [[Pentateuch]], and the book of [[Jonah]]. The publication appeared in [[Antwerp]] and was partly financed by [[Jacobus van Meteren]]. In 1537, his translations were included in the [[Matthew Bible]]. In 1538, he was in [[Paris]], superintending the printing of the "Great Bible," and the same year were published, both in London and Paris, editions of a [[Latin]] and an English New Testament, the latter being by Coverdale. That 1538 Bible was a diglot (dual-language) Bible, in which he compared the [[Latin]] [[Vulgate]] with his own English translation. He also edited the [[Great Bible]] (1540). Henry VIII had a Coverdale Bible put into every English Church, chained to a bookstand, so that every citizen would have access to a Bible.<ref>Rex, Richard, “the Crisis of Obedience: God’s Word and Henry’s Reformation,” The Historical Journal, V. 39, no. 4, Dec. 1996, p. 893-4.</ref>

			===Later years===
			He returned to England in 1539, living briefing in [[Newbury, Berkshire\|Newbury]], but on the execution of [[Thomas Cromwell]] (who had been his friend and protector since 1527) in 1540, he was compelled again to go into exile and lived for a time at [[Tübingen]], and, between 1543 and 1547, was a pastor and schoolmaster at Bergzabern (now [[Bad Bergzabern]]) in the [[Electoral Palatinate\|Palatinate]], and very poor.

			In March, 1548, he went back to England, was well received at the court of the new monarch, [[Edward VI]], and was made king's chaplain and almoner to the queen dowager, [[Catherine Parr]]. In 1551, he became [[Bishop of Exeter]], but was deposed in 1553 after the succession of Queen [[Mary I of England\|Mary]]. He went to [[Denmark]] (where his brother-in-law was chaplain to the king), then to [[Wesel]], and finally back to Bergzabern. In 1559, he was again in England, but was not reinstated in his bishopric, perhaps because of puritan scruples about vestments. From 1564 to 1566, he was rector of [[St Magnus-the-Martyr\|St. Magnus's]], near [[London Bridge]]. On 20 January 1569, Coverdale died in [[London]] and was buried in St. Bartholomew's by the Exchange; when that church was demolished in 1840 to make way for the new Royal Exchange, his remains were moved to St. Magnus.

			==Legacy==
			His translation of the [[Psalter]] is used in the Anglican [[Book of Common Prayer]], and is the most familiar translation of the psalms for many Anglicans all over the world. As a consequence, many musical settings of the psalms make use of the Coverdale translation. His translation of the [[Roman Canon]] is still used in some Anglican and [[Anglican Use]] [[Roman Catholic]] churches.

			==Veneration==
			Coverdale is honored together with [[William Tyndale]] with a [[feast day]] on the [[Calendar of saints (Episcopal Church in the United States of America)\|liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA)]] on October 6.
