The task of revision was committed to Francisco Sancho and the members of the Theological Faculty at Salamanca; and at length the work was published in 1586 ... by command of the Inquisition, in ignorance, apparently, of the true origin of the modern translation included ... [i.e. ] the Zurich version." (See: Historical catalogue of the printed editions of Holy Scripture in the Library of the British and Foreign Bible Society).
