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 (-5[1])Tyndale created one of these objects to replace the (*) Vulgate. While feuding with leadership (10[1])at Oxford, John Wycliffe may have created one of these (10[1])texts. (10[1])One of these texts drew 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 (10[1])religious text? ■END■ (10[1])

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”]
