An Beybel Sans
THE HOLY BIBLE
This is the first translation of the entire Bible to be published in Cornish. The translator is Professor Nicholas Williams, the foremost present-day translator into the language. The first draft of his translation was based on the original languages together with a collation of several other versions. Next the translation was reviewed by a number of competent Cornish speakers, whose comments helped improve the readability of the work. Thereafter the translator searched the Middle and Late Cornish texts -- miracle plays, homilies, and portions of scripture, to find all those passages where native Cornish renderings could be used in the translation. Such passages by speakers of traditional Cornish have been incorporated throughout this Cornish Bible, adding to its authenticity. And wherever possible personal and geographical names have been used as they are attested in traditional Cornish. The volume contains ten maps, in which all the place-names appear in Cornish form.
