Notes: "This version was made by William Bedel or Bedell (1571-1642) ... aided by Murtagh O'Coiong or King (who had assisted William Daniel in preparing the N.T. of 1602), and Dennis O'Sheriden, or Sheridan ; though it was not printed till more than forty years after the death of the principle translator. The translation was made in the first instance from the English Bible, the marginal readings of which are sometimes preferred to the textual readings; but it appears to have been to some extent compared with other versions and - immediately before publication - revised by A. Sall ... , Narcissus Marsh (1638-1713), Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, and subsequently Archbishop of Armagh, and other scholars."--Darlow & Moule, 5533.
