Coyrle Sodjeh
Language
1707
Also known as: Coyrle Sodjeh
The first book printed in Manx, published by Bishop Wilson in 1707. Wilson began with the catechism and kept going, book by book, because a people who spoke Manx deserved to pray in Manx. The title means further advice or counsel. Wilson's Manx publications created the literary infrastructure that would survive the Revestment and eventually provide the foundation for the language revival two centuries later.
