Myles Coverdale, first name also spelt Miles (1488 - 20 January 1569), was an English ecclesiastical reformer chiefly known as a Bible translator, preacher and, briefly, Bishop of Exeter (1551-1553). In 1535, Coverdale produced the first complete printed translation of the Bible into English. By the time of his death, he had transitioned into an early Puritan, affiliated to Calvin, yet still advocating the teachings of Augustine.
