Announcement International Celtic Studies Postgraduate Seminar, 2012 (3)

[Antony Green]

Yes, so far only the first chapter of Genesis is available in the 
unrevised 1588 version. (The whole thing is available in the 1620 
revision.) I'm working on it as best I can, but there's only one of me, 
and I'm spread rather thin between this and several other projects on 
other languages' Wikisources (including several texts in Irish at the 
multilingual Wikisource, see http://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page:Gaeilge).

If anybody else wants to come and help with the proofreading of the 1588 
Bible, you're more than welcome!
