(547612) Karoligaspar Main-belt Asteroid

Discovered on 11 October 2010 by G. Mező K. Sárneczky at Piszkesteto.

Gáspár Károli (1529–1592) was a Hungarian Calvinist pastor, author of the first complete Hungarian translation of the Bible. He began work in 1586, and with the help of six fellow pastors, he quickly completed the work. The printing of the Károli Bible began in early 1589 and was completed a year and a half later.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #3, 16), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
