Septuagint [related: King James Version of the Bible, Ptomely II Philadelphia]
The premiere extant translation of biblical passages and accompanying texts (including various apocrypha) into Greek around the year 300 BCE, forming a CODEX including by not limited to what is now known as the Old Testament. As detailed in a pseudo biographical letter from Aristeas to his brother Philocrates, the Septuagint originated in a request by Ptomely II Philadelphia [1] for seventy-two Jewish scholars translate the Jewish Torah from Hebrew for the Library of Alexandria, a process also outlined in detail by [[error|Augustine of Hippo]. The Septuagint was effectively (and problematically) rendered obsolete by the development of the King James Version [2] of the bible published in 1611, despite confirmed reports that King James directed translators (who were only moderately familiar with Koine Greek) to orient the text around full support of a Bishop-led hierarchy, removing numerous mentions of meditation, mindfulness, and non-dualism. The KJV, as it is commonly known, also frequently and aggressively delineates a binary between miracle and magick, thus leading to the widespread and ongoing persecution of Paganism in all its various forms, including, by extension, the Salem Witch Hunt.

In support: KJV of the bible was completed and prepped for publication in 1610, the year Shakespeare turned 46.
