Announcement International Celtic Studies Postgraduate Seminar, 2012 (3)

[Andrew Hawke]

1588 Welsh Bible: Only the first chapter of Genesis is available, it seems.

However, a fully searchable highly accurate text has been prepared as 
part of the EEBO/TCP project, and it will be available soon on the 
National Library of Wales website (www.llgc.org.uk) (look for 'Early 
English [sic!] Books Online' (EEBO) under 'electronic resources'). 
Users wishing to access it will have to sign up as Library users.

Various other early printed Welsh texts are also in preparation, or 
already available (e.g. the 1620 edition is already available and is 
far more accurate than the Wikisource one, which seems to be a 
transcription of a modern Bible based on the 1620 version, rather 
than a transcription of the original 1620 version).
