The Gospel according to Luke in Ulster-Scots
Ullans Press
The title page illustration of Luke is taken from the 1603 edition of the Geneva Bible. Originally published in 1560, the Geneva Bible was the first English version to be translated directly from the original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. It is thought that its translators included John Calvin and John Knox. It was also the first Bible to be printed in Scotland, in 1579. Around 1626, Sir Hugh Montgomery presented the six churches in his Ulster and Scottish lands (Greyabbey, Newtownards, Donaghadee, Comber, Kilmore and Portpatrick) with a copy of the 1603 Barker edition of the Geneva Bible, each of which had the Montgomery Braidstane coat of arms embossed on the cover in gold leaf.

LATEST
A new edition of Michael Montgomery’s From Ulster to America: The Scotch-Irish Heritage of American English recounts the lasting impact that at least 150,000 settlers from Ulster in the 18th century made on the development of the English language of the United States. This new edition published by the Ulster-Scots Language Society documents over 500 ‘shared’ vocabulary items which are authenticated by quotations from both sides of the Atlantic. A searchable online version of this dictionary is now also available here.
FORTHCOMING
The Ulster-Scots Academy is currently working on the digitisation of Dr Philip Robinson's seminal Ulster-Scots Grammar and the English/Ulster-Scots part (with circa 10,000 entries) of a two-way historical dictionary of Ulster-Scots. These projects are planned to be completed and available on the site in 2016.
