800-900 - FALSE - Aldheim (640-709) has been credited with a complete translation of Psalms, and much of the rest of the Bible into Anglo-Saxon. King Alfred the Great (849-901) presented the Ten Commandments and portions of Exodus and Acts in old English (begun 887 according to Asser). In the 11th century, the abbot Aelfric translated large portions of the Old Testament. The first surviving complete translation into vernacular English was by Wycliffe in 1382.
