Very interesting. It says he developed an Algonquin alphabet but the photos show the Algonquin Bible uses the Roman alphabet like we do. Can you explain this? PumpkinSky talk 11:38, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

From a first read-through, it looks like a good, solid article. Here are some suggestions:
That's all I have for right now. More to come. Aven13 13:19, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
The introduction states (with good evidence) that Eliot and his Wampanoag assistants translated from the Geneva Bible. However, the last sentence of the penultimate paragraph in the Legacy section states that the 1709 edition is based on the King James Bible "just like 'Eliot's Indian Bible' (aka: 'Mamusse Wunneetupanatamwe Up Biblum God')." It seems that the 1709 edition does seek to render the King James, i.e. Authorized Version, given that the link from footnote 36 gives as Other Titles "Bible. O.T. Psalms. English. Authorized. 1709" and "Bible. N.T. John. English. Authorized. 1709" along with the Note quoting Trumbull that "every verse underwent revision and scarcely one remains without some alteration", as would be the case if a Geneva Bible translation is being brought into alignment with the Authorized Version. Please delete the comment beginning "just like 'Eliot's Indian Bible..." Curmudgeonly Pedant ( talk) 17:56, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

The beginning of this article originally stated that the title of the book was in Algonquin. I changed it to Massachusett.
Algonquin is a different language spoken outside of New England, and was likely conflated with the Algonquian language family that Massachusett is also a part of. CarpinchoCamayuc ( talk) 06:47, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
