This review is from: Portuguese (Tpc) Bible Hardback (Hardcover)

The first published portion of the Translation of the Bible to Portuguese was by Damião de Góis, who published Ecclesiastes in 1538, though it was not widely circulated. The principal translator of the Bible into Portuguese was João Ferreira de Almeida, who began the translation in 1644, at the age of 16, and continued until his death in 1691. He translated all of the New Testament and a majority of the Old Testament. Those portions he did not translate before his death were completed by Jacob op den Akker.

O Livro (OL) is an International Bible Society translation for the European dialect, and Nova Versão Internacional (NVI) for the Brazilian dialect of the Portuguese Translation of Portuguese Bible language, completed in April 2000. Portuguese (Tpc) Bible Hardback
