A number of Old English Bible translations (pre 1066) were prepared in medieval England, rendering parts of the Bible into the Old English language. Many of these translations were in fact glosses, prepared and circulated in connection with the Latin Bible, the Vulgate, that was standard in Western Christianity at the time, for the purpose of assisting clerics whose grasp of Latin was imperfect. Old English literature is remarkable for containing a number of incomplete Bible translations that were not glosses and that were meant to be circulated independently.
