<p> The Judaeo-Spanish is spoken by the Jews of Turkey, who are descendants of the Jews formerly settled in the Spanish Peninsula, but forcibly ejected from [[Spain]] in 1492, and from [[Portugal]] in 1497, by the merciless mandate of [[Ferdinand]] and Isabella. As to the versions of the Old Test., (See Romanic Versions). A translation of the New Test. into Judseo- Spanish was undertaken by the British and Foreign [[Bible]] [[Society]] at the suggestion of Dr. Pinkerton, and, in 1823, the [[Reverend]] Mr. Leeves, their agent in Turkey, undertook the translation which was printed in 1829 at Corfu. It was afterwards revised, and reprinted at [[Athens]] in 1844. In 1874 the British and Foreign Bible Society undertook a careful revision of the New Test., with the assistance of the Reverend J. [[Christie]] of the Scottish Missionary. Society. This new edition was printed at [[Constantinople]] in 1877, and is now in circulation. The Old Test. in Judaeo-Spanish, with [[Hebrew]] in parallel columns, has also been published by the American Bible Society. (B. P.) </p>
