Cyril Lucaris - A Man Who Valued the Bible.
Lucaris now had to use printing presses in Geneva.
That translation was printed shortly after Lucaris' death in 1638.
Cyril Lucaris was born in 1572,
in Venice- occupied Candia( now Iráklion), Crete.
After he had initiated that Bible translation, Lucaris took another bold step.
Lucaris was again deposed. But within a month he was recalled and reinstated.
Cyril Lucaris directed the first Greek translation of the complete
Christian Greek Scriptures in 1630.
In spite of Lucaris' precautions,
that translation roused a storm of disapproval from many bishops.
In 1602, Lucaris went to Alexandria, where he succeeded his relative, Patriarch Meletios,
in that see.
Lucaris was arrested, and on July
27, 1638, he was taken on board a small boat as if for banishment.
However, when the press arrived in June 1627, Lucaris' enemies charged him with employing it for political purposes,
and they eventually had it destroyed.
As a result, in 1622, Lucaris was banished to the island of Rhodes,
and Gregory of Amasya purchased the office for 20,000 silver coins.
There Lucaris stresses first that the Scriptures should be
read by every one of the faithful and that it is harmful for a Christian to fail to read God's Word.
