Nubian Version of the Scriptures

Nubian Version Of The Scriptures From the annual report of the British and Foreign Bible Society for 1885 we learn that an edition of five hundred copies of the gospel of Mark has been published for the benefit of the Mohammedans in and around Dongola, East Africa. This version, made in the Fadidja dialect, was prepared by the late professor Lepsius (q.v.), and published as an appendix to his Nubian Grammar. From the latter it was republished, with permission of the translator's son and of the publisher, in Roman characters, under the editorship of professor Reinisch, Vienna. (B.P.)
