General noteThe text agrees with Richard Taverner's version, as revised by Edmund Becke, and published by John Day in his folio Bible of 1551 (STC 2088). According to Lea Wilson, the books 3 Esdras, Tobit, and Judith are an entirely new translation. The book 3 Maccabees appears here for the first time in English--T.H. Darlow and H.F.
