Title	Original leaves from famous Bibles, leaf 044: Eliot Indian Bible, 1685 A. D.
Subject - LCSH	Bible--History Printing
Original Date	1685
Description	Original caption: A leaf from the second edition of Eliot's Bible, revised by the editor, with the assistance of John Cotton. The Indian Bible (first issued in 1663) was the first scripture printed in North America, and also the first version prepared for a pagan people in their own language. John Eliot performed the Herculean task of learning the difficult Algonquin tongue, of translating, unaided, the entire Bible in this unknown and unwritten language, of overcoming many technical difficulties, and of then teaching the Indians to read their own tongue. Samuel Green, the printer, was aided greatly by James Printer, an Indian compositor and corrector of the press. "Wohkukquohsinwog Quoshod tumwaenuog" (The prophets are ended) is a specimen of the difficulties encountered. The language is now extinct.
