Publisher's Synopsis

An Irish Translation of The Book of Genesis, From The Latin Vulgate: With A Corresponding English Version (1868) is a book by John Machale. The book is a translation of the Book of Genesis from Latin into Irish, and it includes a corresponding English version. The Book of Genesis is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. It tells the story of the creation of the world, the first human beings, and their descendants. Machale's translation is significant because it represents an effort to preserve the Irish language and culture during a time of political and cultural upheaval in Ireland. The book was published in 1868, during the period of the Irish Potato Famine and the struggle for Irish independence. It is a valuable resource for scholars of Irish language and literature, as well as for those interested in the history of Ireland and the role of religion in Irish culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
