Description

This original page from an Eliot Algonquin Indian Bible was printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Samuel Green and Marmaduke Johnson between 1660 and 1663. The Bible was translated by John Eliot into the Natick dialect of the Algonquin Indians living in Massachusetts and along part of the east coast of New England. The printing was done at what is now the site of Harvard University, near Boston, only 40 years after the Pilgrims landed on the continent in 1620. The text from the Bible on these two pages is from Ezekiel 25:1 to 27:12.
