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.

After that, his intelligence is described by 'a garden in Eden, from the east', where 'the trees desirable to the sight' are perceptions of what is true, and 'trees good for food' perceptions of what is good. Love is described by 'the tree of life'', faith by 'the tree of knowledge', verses 8-9.
