by 1552 there were many versions out there. I have an ebook on the mobileread download area on the history of the English translation of the Bible. The first English one was the Tyndale NT in 1524. The church tried to burn them as was the practice of earlier times before the printing press but this time it just increased sales. They would buy all the store had and burn them. The next week a new supply arrived. There was a Polygot version of several version in parallel, Latin, Greek, etc. There were German, French and likely others by that date. The Matthew Bible followed the Tyndale version, the Great Bible by Coverdale was published in 1539. The Bible in Latin as published about 1450 as the first full book off the printing press. Luther's German Bible as about 1520 or so.

The KJV was released in 1611.
