saint jerome
the first person to divide new testament chapters into verses was italian dominican biblical scholar santi pagnini (1470–1541), but his system was never widely adopted. his verse divisions in the new testament were far longer than those known today. robert estienne created an alternate numbering in his 1551 edition of the greek new testament which was also used in his 1553 publication of the bible in french. estienne's system of division was widely adopted, and it is this system which is found in almost all modern bibles. estienne produced a 1555 vulgate that is the first bible to include the verse numbers integrated into the text. before this work, they were printed in the margins.
