Valencian Bible
The Valencian Bible was the first printed Bible in the Valencian language, between 1477 and 1478. It is the third Bible printed in a modern language (the first ones were printed in Latin (1456), German (1466) and Italian (1471).
The Inquisition burned all copies and imprisoned Daniel Vives, who was considered to be the main author, though the translation is now ascribed to Bonifaci Ferrer.[1][2]
The only and last surviving paper sheet of this Bible is at the Hispanic Society in New York.
