A colour facsimile of Josiah Forshall and Frederic Madden's 1850 edition of John Wycliffe's early (c. 1382) and John Purvey's later (c. 1388) Middle English translations of the Latin Vulgate. Contains the Apocryphal books. Volume IV - Matthew to Apocalypse

Forshall and Madden's 1850 edition of Wycliffe's Bible has long been out of print. It is very scarce and those rare copies that are available from antiquarian booksellers tend to vary both in condition and in cost. This facsimile edition contains the entire text in a sturdy binding and will be suitable for students of Middle English as well as those interested in the history of the English bible. The two translations given below are conventionally designated "Wycliffe's Bible" or "the Wycliffite Bible" because John Wycliffe (c. 1328-31 December 1384) was inspired to render Jerome's Latin Vulgate into the spoken language of the English people, that they might be better able to understand the scriptures. Today we know that Nicholas of Hereford (died c. 1420) worked extensively on the translation of the Old Testament, completing it by 1382. John Purvey (c. 1354-16 May 1414) was probably responsible for revising the "early" translation (produced during Wycliffe's lifetime) to the more idiomatic "later" translation, which exhibits less influence from Latin syntax. It is also possible that Cornishman John Trevisa (1342-1402) participated in the earlier translation; indeed the preface to the 1611 King James Bible mentions that Trevisa, a contemporary of Wycliffe, was involved in translating the Gospels into English. Josiah Forshall (29 March 1795-18 December 1863) and Frederic Madden (16 February 1801-8 March 1873) worked for twenty-two years on their remarkable edition. The early translation is given in the left-hand column, and the later translation in the right. In their text they retained the letter yogh (¿ ¿) throughout but, curiously, replaced the letter thorn (Þ þ) with the digraph th. A glossary of Middle English words is given at the end of Volume IV. The table of contents gives the names of both the canonical and deuterocanonical books as Forshall and Madden gave them. Where the modern names differ, they are given between parentheses in italic type. At the end of Volume IV there was originally an oddity in the pagination of the back-matter. The end of the book of Apocalypse was on page 681, followed by a blank page 682. Immediately following this was a section of Additional Prologues at pages 681b-695b, after which followed a Table of Lessons pages 683-698, a Glossary pages 699-749, a blank page 750, and a Correction page 751. In this edition the Additional Prologues have been moved to pages 751-765 after the Glossary, and the Correction page has been kept as the final page redundantly at the end of each volume, although all of the specified corrections have been applied to the relevant pages (all but one which could not be found, at II p. 546 c. I. l. 22, amending te to the). Guide-words have also been added to the headers in the Glossary.

From the moment Geppetto the wood carver shapes a puppet that can walk and talk, this wildly inventive fantasy takes Pinocchio through countless adventures, in which his nose grows whenever he lies, he narrowly avoids death on a number of occasions, he is turned into a donkey, and is swallowed by a dogfish, before he finally achieves true happiness. Pinocchio is not in any sense sentimental nor is it a morally improving tale. On the contrary, Pinocchio is one of the great subversives of literature, a chaotic genius driven on at the mercy of his desires, in short, a renegade. Indeed he is one of the great inventions of modern literature. The novel merges the picaresque hero with elements of street theatre, of folk and fairy tales into a work that is at once adventure, satire, and a powerful enchantment. The book is full of memorable characters, is narrated with the fluid but inevitable logic of a dream, and is an endlessly fascinating work. Although originally directed at Italian children in the generation following the risorgimento, the adult reader will recognize in the Pinocchio layers of social and political satire. This is the first time that it has appeared in Cornish.

Haud awa frae the licht settins o't that ye've seen in films an gaither yer virr tae gyang intae the psycho­logical grue o Jekyll and Hyde. It's in Lunnon that the buik is supposedly set, bit ilkie page is drookit in the oorie air o Embro-far Robert Louis Stevenson wis born.

Its up tae yersel tae decide.. ----"He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was trifling; but he answered never a word, and seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane, and carrying on (as the maid described it) like a madman. The old gentleman took a step back, with the air of one very much surprised and a trifle hurt; and at that Mr Hyde broke out of all bounds and clubbed him to the earth. And next moment, with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway." A horrifying tale of terror that will bewilder and amaze its readers. Forget the light renditions of it that you have seen in films and gather your courage to venture into the psychological terror of Jekyll and Hyde. It is in London England that the novel is supposedly set, but every page is drenched in the mysterious atmosphere of Edinburgh-where Robert Louis Stevenson was born. Is it a Freudian fable, a morality parable or a sexual allegory? Its up to you to decide.

Frank Baum's story of a little girl named Dorothy, who with her dog Toto is carried by a tornado from Kansas to the strange and beautiful land of Oz. Here she decides to visit the Emerald City to ask its ruler, a wizard called Oz, to send her back home again. On the way she meets a Scarecrow, who is in search of brains; a Tin Woodman, who wishes to have a heart; and a Cowardly Lion, whose one desire is to possess courage. The little party encounter many dangers and marvelous adventures on the way, but reach the Emerald City in safety, their success being due to the thoughtfulness of the Scarecrow, the tender care of the Tin Woodman, and the fearlessness of the Cowardly Lion. This is the book that inspired the famous 1939 film -- which differs from the original book in quite a few ways! This full-colour book contains the original illustrations by William Wallace Denslow which were were scanned from copies of the first edition. There are 24 colour plates and 150 text illustrations, many localized into the Hawaiian language. The book has been typeset a fashion similar to that of the first edition, with some typographic improvements for the modern reader.

The book was first published in 1865, and since then has been translated into many languages. The first translation of this book into Yiddish was mine, completed in January 2012 (Zur-Ot Publishing House, Jerusalem). Evertype is now publishing this second corrected edition. As I was translating into Yiddish, my aim was to remain faithful to the English source, to the plot, the characters and their qualities; and mainly to retain the depth and spirit of the book. At the same time, the nonsense songs, the sayings, idioms and particularly Lewis Carroll's plays on words had to be adapted to Yiddish and to the lifestyle familiar to its readers. Since Yiddish was prevalent across Eastern Europe, there are sayings and expressions that reflect the Jewish life experience in this region in previous centuries. - Adina Bar-El

Lewis Carroll se u skrivinom: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson sì de veri nom de skrivori we sì profesor matematiki be Christ Church in Oxford.

Uropi se u struen linga wen i av som kreaten; je se u sintèz Indeuropan lingus, klarim bazen su de komùn Indeuropan rode.Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Isis in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age) the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the story to them. There are many half-hidden references made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865. Uropi is a constructed language which was created by myself; it is a synthesis of Indo-European languages, explic­itly based on the common Indo-European roots.

The term "QR Code" is an abbreviation for "Quick Response Code", and is the regis­tered trademark of Denso Wave Inc. for one of the many varieties of two-dimensional bar­codes, other­wise known as matrix barcodes. It was designed in 1994 for the Japanese auto­motive industry. Its purpose was to track vehicles during manu­facturing; it was designed to allow high-speed component scanning. QR Codes can represent a variety of data types, but was devised for encoding numeric, alpha­numeric, byte/binary, and kanji data. QR Codes are used for product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document man­agement, and general marketing. A QR Code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device such as a camera, and processed using Reed-Solomon error correction until the image can be appropriately inter­preted. Under good lighting with a clear image, interpretation can happen very quickly indeed. The encoded data is extracted from patterns found in both horizontal and vertical components of the image. QR Codes are used around the world to enable people to get to websites quickly. They can also be used for advertisements. In this book the text of Alice's Adventures in Wonder­land has been represented in QR Codes. This is not the first time QR Codes have been used for Alice. A project called Books2Barcodes origi­nated by Mike Lacher published online a number of books encoded with QR Codes. That project presented Alice divided into 186 QR Codes. Each of these encoded about 780 characters, except for the last one which contained 301. In the Books2Barcodes edition, which was released in 2011, the resolved text shows line­breaks within paragraphs, and writes itali­cized words in ALL CAPITALS.The present book divides Alice somewhat differ­ently. Here, section breaks occur exclusively at paragraph endings, and the placement of John Tenniel's illustrations has also been taken into account. The 141,748 characters (including spaces) which occur in the book have been divided into 113 QR Codes which have an average character count of 1290; the longest QR Code contains 1683 characters (p. 30), and the shortest contains 629 characters (p. 38). In this edition, runs of italic text are pre­ceded and followed by an underscore _thus_. Each paragraph is separated from the next by a full linespace, and tabs are used to indent lines of poetry where warranted. In keeping with the electronically-parseable format of the text in this book, the OCR-A font has been used for un-encoded text, as in the page headers and footers, and the OCR-B font for the chapter titles and this Foreword. The tag on the Hatter's hat has been rendered in QR Code, but as QR Code is square in shape, it could not be used for the "DRINK ME" tag. For this Braille "¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿" has been used, as it is another matrix-based writing system. At the beginning of each chapter the decora­tive Victorian headers used in other Evertype Alice books have been replaced by "Code 128" bar­codes. There are many good apps for modern smartphones that can parse these codes as well as the QR codes useed for the text of the book itself.

When her mother died, Avery Anderson finally had a chance to leave a runaway life behind to try to have a normal one. After she moves in with her aunt Brenna and starts her new high school in Dover, California, Avery discovers that she isn't an average teenage girl. On her sixteenth birthday she'll inherit a mixture of Elemental and Seer powers. There's only one problem: at fifteen, she's already pretty powerful.Cole Sullivan was transplanted to Dover for a mission-and that mission is Avery. Cole is an Elemental who has trained to be a Guardian, having gained powers over three elements when he was twelve years of age. When Cole befriends Avery, he realizes that guarding her is going to be more difficult than he imagined. With her growing powers, she may be the daughter prophesied to bring about the end of his kind.When twins Devon and Dani Finn are suddenly enrolled by their father in the same school as Avery with an order to contain her if she's dangerous, Devon gets suspicious though his sister supports their dad. Devon realizes that he and Avery may have a lot in common through shared talismans that align their powers, and they build a friendship.
