Manx Gaelic
Manx Gaelic (Gaelg) is the native language of the Isle of Man (Ellan Vannin), a self-governing Crown Dependency in the Irish Sea located between Britain and Ireland. It is a Gaelic language related to Irish (Gaeilge) and Scots Gaelic (Gàidhlig) but with its own orthography closer to English style spelling. The last few years have seen a remarkable increase in interest in the Manx language. Digitised Scripture resources have been produced by the Bible Society with language support from Yn Çheshaght Ghailckagh (the Manx Language Society) and Culture Vannin, to help the growing number of Manx speakers engage with the Bible.
Manx Apocrypha
The Manx New Testament was first published in 1767. The two books of the Wisdom of Solomon (Creenaght Solomon), often called Wisdom; and the Wisdom of Jesus son of Sirach (Creenaght Yeesey Mac Sirach) also known as Ecclesiasticus, from the Apocrypha were published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) with the Manx Old Testament in 1773. The whole Bible as one unit, but excluding the Apocrypha, was first published by SPCK in 1775.
Digital Edition
These 2 books - Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus - were digitised in 2016, from an original copy of the 1773 Manx Old Testament in the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) archives at Cambridge University, with the help of MissionAsssist. These sections were checked by Max Wheeler of the Manx Gaelic Society (Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh).
