Notes
The Welsh Bible, a landmark in Welsh history, is the first full translation of the Bible into the Welsh language, completed in 1588 by William Morgan. This monumental work not only made the scriptures accessible to Welsh speakers but also played a crucial role in preserving and standardizing the Welsh language. Morgan's translation helped to sustain the use of Welsh in religious and public life, significantly influencing the linguistic and cultural identity of Wales. The Welsh Bible remains a cherished symbol of Welsh heritage and linguistic pride.
