Caló Gospel of Luke 1837

In 1836 the Gospel of Luke was translated into Caló (Iberian Romani) by BFBS agent, George Borrow (1803-1881) with the help of Gypsies in Spain and Portugal. It was printed by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1837. Caló is the form of Romani spoken by Gitano Gypsies in Iberia (Spain and Portugal) and communities descended from them in Brazil. This was the first book of the Bible ever translated into any Romani language, and the first book ever published in any Romani language. It was later revised in 1872.

Digital Edition
