Káldi was born in Nagyszombat [Hungary] on February 4, 1573. He studied theology at the University of Vienna. In Rome, in 1598 he entered the Jesuit order. In 1625, he founded the College of Pozsony (Bratislava), and served as its rector until his death.

His version was based partly on the unpublished manuscripts of István Szántó,[1] partly on the Vulgate [2] The printing of his translation in 1626 was supported by the Calvinist prince Gabriel Bethlen.
