Publisher's Synopsis
The Psalms of David and the Proverbs of Solomon in BengálÃ- is a historic translation of key Old Testament texts into Bengali. Published in 1862, this edition reflects the efforts of John Wenger, the Bible Translation Society, and the Calcutta Baptist Missionaries to make scripture accessible to a wider audience. This volume offers insight into 19th-century missionary work and the translation of religious texts for evangelization and education purposes. Its enduring value lies in its contribution to the linguistic and cultural landscape of Bengali-speaking communities and its significance as a resource for understanding the history of Bible translation.
