Prayers and Hymns in Ainu Ainu seikō kai gusu an inonno-itak newa shinotcha-ibe oma kambi-sosh
[Japan] With only one institutional copy in Japan (at Hokkaido University) and none outside Japan, this is a very scarce work. Some references state the book was translated into the Ainu language by the Rev. John Batchelor (1855-1944) and this would seem logical, although his name does not appear to be mentioned in the book. The book also has a small, loose inserted leaf of presumably the Lord's Prayer written in Ainu.
