Dear Anthony Thanks for your interesting notes on Cornish. A useful source book for Late Conish is the following: The Cornish Writings of the Boson Family edited and annotated by Oliver J. Padel and published by the Institute of Cornish Studies in 1975. (The ISBN is 0 903686 09 0 ) The address of the Institute is (or was?) Trevenson House , Pool, Redruth, Cornwall. The book contains material written by NIcholas Boson (of Nebbaz Gerriau dro tho Carnoack fame as well as John of Chyanhor); Thomas Boson (Lord's Prayer, Creed, Ten Commandments etc); Jon Boson (various letters and translations of small passages from the Bible, his best piece is the Pilchards Rhyme 'ma canow vee wor Hern gen Cock ha Rooz'. Another very interesting text is the famous Letter by William Bodinar of 1776. This has been published on a number of occasions. The last I believe in The Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, New Series, Volume VII, Part 3 1975/6. Here is the text: Bluth vee try egence a pemp Theara vee dean bodjack an puscas Me rig deskey Cornoack termen me vee mawe Me vee demore gan seara vee a pemp dean moy en cock me rig scantlower clowes eden ger sowsnack cowes en cock rag sythen ware bar Na rig a vee biscath gwellas lever Cornoack.
