| The New Testament in
Braid Scots, as rendered by the Revd William Wye Smith.
First published in 1901.
With a Glossary of Scottish terms
The author, writing his preface in 1901, says: “And God's
Word is for a' men; and ony lawfu' means ane can use to get folk
to read it, and tak tent till't, is richt and proper. For a' thae
reasons, and ithers I coud bring forrit, I hae putten the New Testament
intil Braid Scots. Lat nae man think it is a vulgar tongue—a
mere gibberish to be dune wi' as sune as ane is bye the schule-time.
It is an ancient and honourable tongue; wi' rutes deep i' the yirth;
aulder than muckle o' the English.”
He hopes that his work has helped to make some of the meaning plainer.
It is fascinating and very readable. You can almost 'hear' the author
speaking it!
This book was very popular when first published, and several re-prints
were made. Worth a read - it is fascinating! Gives a whole new perspective
to bible reading, simplifying those well known stories.

Life in a Mediaeval City, Illustrated by York
in the XVth century by Edward Benson
York was a typical English city in the fifteenth century. Whilst
England continued in a state of political unrest, the towns and
cities were comparatively little disturbed by the perpetual disorders
created by the Hundred Years War, the Wars of the Roses, the constant
battles with the Welsh and Scots.
Town life developed through flourishing trade and an increasing
sense of municipal unity, and municipal importance.
York is still rich in mediaeval buildings.
