Ea a intrat în istorie ca „Biblia de la Bucureşti”, apărută prin grija şi cu cheltuiala domnitorului Șerban Cantacuzino şi a urmașului său, Constantin Brâncoveanu. „Biblia de la București” sau Biblia lui Șerban Cantacuzino este un monument al limbii române vechi şi prima traducere integrală a Bibliei în limba română. Tipărirea Bibliei de la 1688 a fost un proces complicat, care trebuia să rezolve chestiuni de limbă şi de terminologie bisericească nemaiîntâlnite până atunci. „Biblia de la București” a avut o largă răspândire pe întregul teritoriu al României actuale, în Țara Românească, Moldova și Ardeal. Biblia lui Șerban Cantacuzino este pentru ortodoxia românească o carte fundamentală, care a furnizat poporului textul integral al Bibliei.
