Who first printed the Bible in English?

Answer:
In 1535 Miles Coverdale published the first complete English Bible in print, the Coverdale Bible.

Since Coverdale was not proficient in Hebrew or Greek, he used 'five Soundry interpreters' in Latin, English and 'Douche' (German) as source text.

He made use of Willaim Tyndale's translation of the New Testament (following Tyndale's November 1534 Antwerp edition) and of those books which were translated by Tyndale: the Pentateuch and the book of Jonah.
