Belgian or Flemish BIBLES. The Flemish Bibles of the Catholics are very numerous, and for the most part have no author's name prefixed to them, till that of Nicolas Vinck, which was printed at Louvain in 1548. The Flemish versions made use of by the Calvinists till the year 1637 were copied principally from that of Luther. But the synod of Dort having in 1618 appointed a new translation of the Bible into Flemish, deputies were named for the work, which was not finished till the year 1637.
