This first translation of the complete Bible, including the Apocrypha, was the work of William Morgan (1545-1604). Morgan's translation, which took about a decade to complete, brought the Scriptures to his largely monoglot fellow countrymen and women and touched the lives of countless thousands. No other Welsh book has been as influential, for it is also a work of immense linguistic and literary significance.
