First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The Biblia Polyglotta Complutensis is a massive, multi-volume scholarly work containing the biblical text in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin, along with extensive scholarly apparatus (prefaces, grammars, lexicons). While the biblical texts themselves are widely available in English, the unique scholarly apparatus and the specific Latin-based editorial work of the Complutensian Polyglot have never been translated into English as a complete work. Only minor excerpts, such as prefaces, have appeared in academic anthologies.
