First Bible translated in Yoruba by Ajayi Crowther inside the First Storey Building in Nigeria (Photos) The said Bibles – the Yoruba and English versions – are located side by side in a gla$$ casing in one of the two rooms on the upper floor of the building. “While the English Bible is 171 years old, the Yoruba Bible is 168 years old. The Yoruba Bible was printed in Great Britain by Lowe and Brydon Printer Limited, London,” Viavonu noted. According to the curator, the first missionaries came to Badagry in September, 1842. “These were Thomas Birch Freeman of the Methodist Church, England, and his a$$istant, Reverend Deegraft. In December, 1942, Reverend Henry Townsend of the Christian Missionary Society also came to join them in Badagry to spread the gospel. They used to preach under a tree called Agiya tree. The Badagry town hall was built where the tree was once located,” he explained See more Photos Bellow: http://www.gltrends.com/first-bible-translated-in-yoruba-by-ajayi-crowther-inside-the-first-storey-building-in-nigeria-photos/ 1 Like 1 Share |

In African Magic- Yoruba,someone would instruct some guys to steal the bible for a fee. And later,the guardian of the bible would begin a hunt down for the culprits.. |

If that is actually the FIRST Yoruba Bible printed, then it is poorly secured. First printed editions of valuable books such as this are a collector's item. This book is priceless! People who collect books should know this, and they are willing to pay obscene amounts of money for such. Won't be a surprise if the book disappears. That wooden shack wouldn't present much of a challenge to an armature thief. Or, is it being guarded by black magic? |
