The Christian scriptures into the language of Galicia, Spain
The translation of the Bible into the modern Galician language was begun in 1968 by Editorial SEPT of Vigo, and published in 1989.[1][2]
In the 19th Century a translation of the Gospel of Matthew was commissioned by Luís Luciano Bonaparte from the journalist Vicente Turnes (gl), but the result was considered too Castilian and a second version was commissioned from an otherwise unknown translator, probably a Galician residing in London, a certain José Sánchez de Santa María.[3] This second commission was published in London in 1861 with the title Observaciones comparativas sobre la pronunciación gallega, asturiana, castellana y portuguesa.[4]
