The book Life And Times Of Bishop William Morgan: The Translator Of The Bible Into The Welsh Language, written by William Hughes and published in 1891, is a comprehensive biography of Bishop William Morgan, who is known for being the first person to translate the Bible into Welsh. The book provides an in-depth look at Morgan’s life, from his early years in the Welsh countryside to his education at Oxford University and his eventual appointment as Bishop of Llandaff.The author explores Morgan’s motivations for undertaking the translation of the Bible, which was a monumental task that took many years to complete. The book also delves into the political and religious climate of Wales during Morgan’s time, including the tensions between the Welsh and English languages and the role of the Church in Welsh society.Throughout the book, the author provides a detailed account of Morgan’s translation process, including the challenges he faced in finding the right words to convey the meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The book also includes excerpts from Morgan’s translation, which highlight the beauty and complexity of the Welsh language.Overall, Life And Times Of Bishop William Morgan offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in Welsh history, whose legacy continues to be felt today through the ongoing use of his translation of the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
