Bible translations into Romanian

The first complete Bible translation to Romanian was made in 1688, and called Biblia de la București (The Bible from Bucharest). The Old Testament was translated by Moldavian-born Nicolae Milescu in Constantinople. The translator used as his source a Septuagint published in Frankfurt in 1597. The manuscript was afterwards revised in Moldavia and later brought to Bucharest, where it was again subject to revision by a team of Wallachian scholars (among whom were Radu Greceanu and his brother Șerban Greceanu) with the help of Șerban Cantacuzino and Constantin Brâncoveanu.
