Novice here. This past weekend I was inspired to tackle a project I've always wanted to do, The History of Bible Translations.

This is a HUGE subject, so I limited myself to English-Protestant translations (save influential text). But... still... That is overwhelming.

I had no idea there was such confusing and conflicting information on the origin and influences of each translations. For now, I've gotten as far as I care to in creating a visual. I am worried my information is wrong.

Would any of you care to point me in the direction of some authoritative resources on this?

If you are curious of my progress, here you go:

You will have to zoom, and I in no way promise its accurate. I plan on adding more notes (publishing and copyright expiration dates, gender philosophy, etc)

thanks!
