54 scholars were assigned to the project, but 47 participated more than the others, all highly qualified. Among them were Dr. John Bois who, according to his biographer, was reading through the Hebrew Old Testament at only five years old. He was an expert in all forms of [[Greek]], and compiled one of the largest Greek libraries ever. Lancelot Andrews, a leader of the Old Testament translators, was fluent in 15 modern languages, as well as Greek, Hebrew, and the cognate biblical languages. Dr. Andrew Downes spent 40 years as Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford University. Sir Henry Saville was a scientist and Bible scholar. Dr. John Harding was Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford University. Edward Lively was Regius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge. Dr. William Bedwell was an expert in Arabic, Latin, and Persian, and prepared lexicons in these languages and in biblical languages.<ref>Henry Morris Study Bible, Appendix 21, page 2147</ref>
