The Septuagint or the Koine Greek version of the Hebrew Bible is the earliest translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, appearing between the first and third centuries before Christ in Alexandria. Embraced by the Catholic Church, which includes many of the texts that Reformed churches ignore or consider Apocryphral, the authorised Papal version of the Septuagint was first produced in Rome, 1587, under the reign of Pope Sixtus V. A direct byproduct of the Council of Trent, the production of the Septuagint was the suggestion of Cardinal Pole who encouraged making available the Bible in Hebrew and Greek as well as the Latin vulgate, in order to counter charges of the Reformers. This edition was compiled by German oriental philologist and reformed theologian David Mill (16921756) and was published simultaneously in Amsterdam.
