====Apocrypha====
Unlike the rest of the Bible, the translators of the Apocrypha identified their source texts in their marginal notes.{{sfn|Scrivener|1884|p=47}} From these it can be determined that the books of the Apocrypha were translated from the Septuagint—primarily, from the Greek Old Testament column in the [[Antwerp Polyglot]]—but with extensive reference to the counterpart Latin Vulgate text, and to Junius's Latin translation. The translators record references to the [[Sixtine Septuagint]] of 1587, which is substantially a printing of the Old Testament text from the [[Codex Vaticanus]] Graecus 1209, and also to the 1518 Greek Septuagint edition of [[Aldus Manutius]]. They had, however, no Greek texts for [[2 Esdras]], or for the [[Prayer of Manasses]], and Scrivener found that they here used an unidentified Latin manuscript.{{sfn|Scrivener|1884|p=47}}
