Note 281 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
It was speedily prohibited, together with the Basque gospel; by a royal ordonnance, however, which appeared in the Gazette of Madrid, in August 1838, every public library in the kingdom was empowered to purchase two copies in both languages, as the works in question were allowed to possess some merit in a literary point of view. For a particular account of the Basque translation, and also some remarks on the Euscarra language, the reader is referred to The Bible in Spain, vol. ii. p. 385–398.
