'The [Gaelic] Bible before the Reformation', 1890
Scope and Contents
A discussion, possibly a script for a lecture, about the history of the Gaelic Bible. It includes information about translators, their motivations, and figures who possessed or may have possessed copies of a Gaelic Bible. There is some information, but with less focus, on some linguistic issues faced by translators.
Although the title of the notebook claims 'before the Reformation', there is some discussion of the Gaelic Bible following the Reformation, with 1801 being the last date mentioned in the text.
