The first published portion of the Bible in Portuguese was by Dami? de G?s, who published Ecclesiastes in 1538, though it was not widely circulated. The principal translator of the Bible into Portuguese was Jo? Ferreira de Almeida, who began the translation in 1644, at the age of 16, and continued until his death in 1691. He translated all of the New Testament and a majority of the Old Testament. Those portions he did not translate before his death were completed by Jacob op den Akker. O Livro (OL) is an International Bible Society translation for the European dialect, and Nova Vers? Internacional (NVI) for the Brazilian dialect of the Portuguese language, completed in April 2000.
