To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

1191. This is that great city. That this signifies doctrinals, and that these increased and prevailed, is evident from the signification of a “city,” as being a true doctrinal, or a false doctrinal (as was shown at n. 402). And it is called the “great city” because all falsity of doctrine, and of the worship therefrom, is derived into falsity of life.
