Owing to the delay in the completion of Luther's translation, various 'combined' Bibles were issued giving those portions hitherto put forth by Luther, supplemental by versions fo the remainder by other translations.

The most famous Zurich printer of the 16th C was C. Froschauer., a native of Ottingen in Bavaria. He was parbably the son of Hans F. who had worked at Augsburg from 1494 to 1507. In 1519 he became a citizen of Zurich + set up his press there in 1521. Froschauer was quick to print Luther's Bible + his 1st ed. came out in 3 folio vol. 1524-29. In the following year he brought out a 2nd ed. in a single volumem octavo + in 1531 the 3rd ed. , revised, in 1 folio volume embellished with many woodcuts. Through the major part of the text was that of Luther, some parts were newly translated by the preachers of Zurich. A 4th ed. quarto without illustrations appeared in 1534.

C. Froschauer, uncle (d. 1564) + nephew (d. 1590) The elder Froschauer was a keen partisan of Zwingli, all of whose writings appeared under his punning imprint of the 'frog on the meadow' Among the 900 titles issued by the Froschauers some 500 were of a religious character. WIth J. Stumpf's History of the Swiss Confederation with 4000 illus. (1548) Froschauer scored a deserved popular success in a different field.
