1 OR il serpente era astuto più che qualunque altra bestia della campagna, che il Signore Iddio avesse fatta. Ed esso disse alla donna: Ha pure Iddio detto: Non mangiate del frutto di tutti gli alberi del giardino?


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.
