"Translated by Johannes Eck; conformed to the Vulgate; the Old Testament based on the Augsburg Bibles of 1477 and 1507 and in part on the Vulgate; the New Testament based on Emser's version of 1527"--IDC catalogue XII.1294. no. 772, p. 10.

The New Testament in this "Catholic Rival Bible" is a revision of Hieronymus Emser's version, first published at Dresden in 1527, and sharply criticized by Luther as stolen from his own translation.
