John Eliot's Indian Bible: A Census
I am currently conducting a census of John Eliot’s Algonquian translations of the Bible, published in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1661, 1663, and 1685. My project builds upon the 1880s census completed by Wilberforce Eames and published in James Pilling’s Bibliography of the Algonquian Languages (Washington: G.P.O., 1891). Of the three editions, Eames work records a combined total of one hundred copies. To date, John Eliot's Indian Bible: A Census has extended the number of recorded copies for each of the three editions, thus raising the combined total beyond 150 copies.
