  • Middle English Bible translations (1066-1500) covers the age of Middle English - it was not a fertile time for Bible translations but saw the first major translation, Wyclif's Bible, from John Wyclif. The period of Middle English begins with the Norman conquest and ends about 1500. The influence of French as the preferred language of the elite, and Latin preferred for most literary purposes as was the norm in Medieval Western Europe, limited English literature of all types. After the Norman Conquest of 1066, the English language underwent extensive change, evolving into the Middle English best known in the works of Chaucer; until whom Middle English was not considered a written language. Middle English still existed as several dialects.
