John Wycliffe primarily translated The Bible from the Latin Vulgate rather than directly from Hebrew manuscripts. His work, known as the Wycliffe Bible, was completed in the late 14th century and aimed to make the scriptures accessible to English speakers. While he acknowledged the importance of original texts, his translations relied on the Latin version that was widely used at the time. Thus, he did not directly utilize Hebrew manuscripts for his translations.
