Sir Jacobus van Meteren (1519–1555) was the financier and printer of early English versions of the Bible.
He may also have printed the Matthew Bible of 1537 (Herbert #34), the combined work of William Tyndale, Myles Coverdale and John Rogers.
He was born at Breda, but there has been some debate over the details of his life from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica: Since the discovery of Guido Latré in 1997, it is believed that Emanuel van Meteren's affidavit of 1609 refers to the printing of the Coverdale Bible in 1535, when his father employed Myles Coverdale as translator.
Rogers married J. van Meteren's niece, Adriana de Weyden, the same year that the Matthew Bible was published.
If J. van Meteren was the printer of the Coverdale Bible, he would readily have been able to provide Rogers with Coverdale's prior work covering those books of the Old Testament which Tyndale had not had time to translate.
