description: "Jacob van Liesvelt or Jacob van Liesveldt, was a Flemish printer, publisher and bookseller. His printing press put out publications in a wide range of genres, including poetry by Anna Bijns, Roman Catholic literature such as an anti-heresy decree, and publications that conflicted with Catholic teachings. He published the first complete Dutch translation of the Bible in 1526, largely based on Martin Luther's translation. He was eventually executed for publishing unauthorised versions of the Bible."
