The Bucharest Bible (Romanian: Biblia de la București), also known as the Cantacuzino Bible, was the first complete translation of the Bible into the Romanian language, published in Bucharest in 1688.[1][2] It was ordered and patronized by Șerban Cantacuzino, then-ruler of Wallachia,[1] and overseen by logothete Constantin Brâncoveanu.[citation needed]
