Round 4: Tossup 1

A public burning of the “Brest” types of these objects in Vilnius was arranged by a Polish prince nicknamed “the Orphan.” One of these objects nicknamed “treacle” was replaced after the Millenary Petition led to the convening of the Hampton Court Conference. Miles Coverdale and William Tyndale created one of these objects to (15[1])replace the (*) Vulgate. (10[1])While feuding with leadership at Oxford, John Wycliffe may have created one of these texts. One of these texts drew (10[1])from a translation of the Septuagint (“sep-TOO-uh-jint”) by Aldus Manutius for its 14 books of the Apocrypha. For 10 points, King James names a translation of what christian religious text? ■END■

ANSWER: Holy Bibles [accept King James Bible; accept Tyndale Bible; accept Geneva Bible; accept Bishops’ Bible or Treacle Bible; accept Brest Bible or Radziwiłł Bible; accept Vulgate or Vulgata or Vulgate Bible until “Vulgate”; accept translations of the Bible or New Testament into Polish, German, or English; prompt on religious texts before “texts”; prompt on religious books before “books”]
