First page of the Book of Nahum from the Welsh Bible of 1588
The year 1588 saw the publication of the first Welsh translation of the complete Bible, including the Apocrypha. It was the work of William Morgan, 1545-1604, a native of Penmachno, Conwy and a graduate of St. John's College, Cambridge. This folio volume was printed in black letter by the deputies of Christopher Barker, the Queen's Printer. It was intended for church rather than home use. You can view the entire Bible on the website of The National Library of Wales: http://www.llgc.org.uk/index.php?id=1588welshbible
Date: 1588
