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.

744. That 'the clean beast' means affections for good has been stated and shown already at verse 2 of this chapter, consequently there is no need to pause over it here. It has in similar fashion been shown at that verse that 'the beast that is not clean' means evil desires or affections.
