A page from Queen Sophia's Bible

The Bible of Queen Sophia (or Queen Sophia's Bible, Шаблон:Lang-pl, also Sárospatak Bible, Biblia Szaroszp(a)otacka) is the oldest surviving translation of the Old Testament into the Polish language and the first complete translation of the Bible into Polish.[1] The work is seen as a significant milestone in the history of the Polish language,[2] and the most extensive example of the medieval Old Polish language.[3][4]

The bible was commissioned by Sophia of Halshany, wife of the Polish king Jogaila.[5] Queen Sophia did not know Latin, and wished for a bible she could read herself.[6] The translation started in 1433 and ceased in 1455; the work was not fully finished (some illustrations were completed only two centuries later).[4][5] The primary author of the translation was the Queen's chaplain, Andrzej z Jaszowic.[4]

A copy of the bible was held by the library at Sárospatak in Hungary[5] from at least 1708;[7] hence the other name for this book.[6] The bible was composed of two parchment folios[6] numbering 470 pages in total.[8] Only 185 pages of the first folio survived to the 19th century,[8] as the second had been destroyed to provide bindings for other books.[6] The first volume was also lost (presumed destroyed[4]) during World War I, but Ludwik Bernacki published a facsimile edition in 1930.[6] Several pages were recovered during the interwar period but most were lost during World War II. Today only two and a half pages remain: two at the University of Wrocław and half a page at the National Library of the Czech Republic in Prague.[4]

The text of the bible is known through reproductions. The first complete printed edition of the work was in 1871, through the effort of Antoni Małecki.[3]
