The Coverdale Bible, compiled by Myles Coverdale and published in 1535, was the first complete Modern English translation of the Bible (not just the Old, or New Testament), and the first complete printed translation into English (Wycliffe's Bible was a previous manuscript translation). The later editions (folio and quarto) published in 1537 were the first complete Bibles printed in England.
