Sobre este artículo
Hardcover. Fine. Translated from the Greek by the Calcutta Baptist Missionaries with Native Assistants. 8vo. Contemporary full calf with black- and gold-lettered spine labels Calcutta: Printed at the Baptist Mission Press . . . 1841. First Edition. Limited to 5000 copies. This important translation was written by William Yates, an English Baptist missionary and orientalist who spent many years in Calcutta, laboring on translations of the Bible into various languages including Hindustani and Bengali. The present work was considered the best Bengali translation of the Bible produced up to that time, exceeding the previous efforts of both William Carey (1801) and John Ellerton (1819), and remaining the authoritative Bengali translation for many years. (See: The Foreign Missionary Chronicle, 1838, Vol. 6, p. 65). Published under Yatess direct supervision with attendant corrections, this is among the rarest editions of his New Testament in Bengali. This copy bears no institutional markings of any kind (a rarity in itself). Darlow & Moule 2074. Moderate cover wear; front hinge starting; o/w generally clean internally. Scarce.
