The Romanized Russian Synod Bible (RUSSISO)

Overview

This is the public-domain Russian Synodal Bible transliterated into Latin script using the ISO 9 romanization standard. The underlying text is the Russian Synodal translation, first published as a complete Bible in 1876 after a translation effort that began in 1813 under the Russian Bible Society and was completed under the direction of the Holy Synod. [1] ISO 9:1995 is an international standard for transliterating Cyrillic characters into Latin script; it is univocal, meaning each Cyrillic character maps to exactly one Latin character (using diacritics), which allows lossless reverse transliteration back to Cyrillic. [2] This edition is a sister edition to the GOST-romanized edition (RUSSGOS), differing from it in its specific character mappings, particularly in its use of diacritical marks. This romanized edition was produced in 2020 by the Digital Bible Society.
