What it is

The Greek text printed alongside a fresh Latin translation and annotations, produced in haste from a handful of late manuscripts.

Why it lasted

The book from which Luther, Tyndale, and the translators of every Protestant Bible worked. Its errors travelled with it for four centuries.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
