The first complete Catalan^{[dubious – discuss]} Bible translation was produced by the Catholic Church, between 1287 and 1290. It was entrusted to Jaume de Montjuich by Alfonso II of Aragon. Remains of this version can be found in Paris (Bibliothèque Nationale).^{[citation needed]}

In the early fifteenth century, the Bible was translated into Catalan^{[dubious – discuss]} again by Bonifaci Ferrer. Ferrer's translation, known as the Valencian Bible, was printed in 1478 before any Bible was printed in English or Spanish. ^[1] The prohibition, in Spain and other Catholic countries, of vernacular translations, along with the decline of the Catalan^{[dubious – discuss]} language^{[citation needed]} until its renaissance in the nineteenth century, explains why there were no translations into Catalan^{[dubious – discuss]} from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century.^[2]
