In 1877 the British and Foreign Bible Society published a Bible with an English translation in the same layout and with the same pagination as the Polish translation. <<This Polish translation is unknown to D&M and no complete copy is extant.>> Indeed UJE states (Vol. VI, p. 343) “The only Jewish translation of (the) Bible into Polish is the Genesis and Exodus of Daniel Neufeld."
