The Polari Bible is a version of the King James Bible, with key words translated into Polari. It was produced in 2003 and 2004by the Manchester house of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.[1]
- "Work on the original King James Bible began early in the 17th century, and it has become a watchword for the majesty and power of its language. Vulgarising it by translating it in to Polari would be an act of cultural vandalism akin to translation in to Scots. But good taste has never yet fettered the Sisters' activities, so we did it anyway."[1]
The website containing the text of the Polari Bible has disappeared, but has been preserved via the Internet Archive.
