Jago (181792), it also contains literal translations of biblical texts, such as Genesis and the Ten Commandments.

Trade Review
'This book will be of interest to students of the history of linguistics and more specifically to those studying the history of lexicography or the history of Cornish linguistics … [It] is particularly useful for searching an electronic diachronic corpus of historical Cornish.' Jon Mills, The Linguist List
