Gregory Martin (scholar)

Gregory Martin (c. 1542 – 28 October 1582) was an English Catholic priest, a noted scholar of his time, academic and Doctor of Divinity, and served as the chief translator of the Rheims and Douai Version of the Bible, the first full, official Catholic English Bible translation, translated from the Latin Vulgate and "diligently conferred with the Hebrew, Greek, and other editions in divers languages".

In preparing the translation, he was assisted by several of the other scholars then living in the English College, Douai, the most noteworthy of which were Richard Bristow, William Rainolds (Reynolds), and Cardinal William Allen, who each served as revisers and likely as annotators, though Martin made the whole translation in the first instance and bore the brunt of the work throughout; Thomas Worthington, who was absent from Reims during much of Martin's initial translation period, later took up the task of editing, annotating, and publishing the Douai Old Testament.
