Copyright
Coverdale, Miles (1488–1568), was ordained priest in 1514, and adopted Lutheran views. He translated at Antwerp the
Bible and
Apocrypha from German and Latin versions with the aid of
Tyndale's New Testament; a modified version was issued in 1537. Coverdale also superintended the printing of the Great Bible of 1539 (see under
Bible, the English). He was bishop of Exeter, 1551–3. He published his last book,
Letters of Saintes, in 1564. If he was (which has been questioned) the translator of the version of the Bible attributed to him, he is entitled to the credit for much of the noble language of the Authorized Version, and in particular for the Prayer-Book version of the Psalter.
