"20 in Italian, 26 in French, 19 Flemish, 2 in Spanish, 6 in Bohemian, 1 in Slavish, and 30 in German, for example the German Strasbourg translation published in 1466. To these editions of the whole Bible, must be added 94 printings of single sections, in the dialects of Europe. Besides these editions in the vernacular, there were 62 editions in Hebrew such as the 1477 Bologna Hebrew translation, 22 in Greek, and 343 in Latin, a language known to all the educated classes."

I dunno. The site didn't say. But I'm surprised to see the definition of "vernacular" has now changed to mean "English".

I checked Wikipedia (I do not necessarily vouch for the validity of this site) and see in Old English, there were several translations and glosses which you can find at
