(Estr. T. 13). First edition of the New Testament as translated by J. Wujek. By the end of the 16th century there were already two Catholic translations of the Holy Scriptures into Polish. The translation by Jakub Wujek was another attempt to translate the Bible from Latin into the national Polish language. It was made at the behest of the monastic authorities, after obtaining the appropriate approval from Pope Gregory XIII. The full translation was completed in 1595 (it appeared in print in 1599), but the Jesuits were obliged to revise the translation, which took them several years. This translation replaced the Leopolita Bible (1561) and served as the primary Polish Catholic translation for 367 years, until the Millennium Bible was compiled.Estreicher: ".... He translated from the Latin, but gives the differences with the Greek text at the edges. He took the Greek text from the best edition of the Bible in Antorf at Plautin's in 1572, while as for the Latin text he adhered to the edition of the theologians of Lowan's Bible published r. 1574 at Plautin in Antorf. When translating he had at hand printed Polish translations by Budny, Czechowicz and even a Czech translation, which helped him to choose the most appropriate words. At the edges of the book he gave Zaczata, or Slavonic and Ruthenian chapters, so that both the Ruthenians and Slavs could enjoy this testament. He took the annotations partly from the Holy Scriptures, from old lectures and from Bellarmine. Also from the English translation of N. T. from the Catholics published in Rems in France in 1582. In the preface he included many remarks on translation and the proper meaning of words, something for researchers of the language, which is very interesting. ..." .
