Here you will find listed braille copies of New Testament Greek study aids such as primers, a dictionary, and lexical aids. Most, if not all, will include the vowel accents, breathing marks and punctuation more reflective of modern critical Greek texts. We also now have available a fully accented edition of the Greek New Testament. This differs from thee Bartimaeus braille Unaccented Edition of the Greek New Testament and other versions, namely, Westcott-hort, Nestle-Aland, and the Byzantine Majority.
All that said, there are some useful links to braille and non-braille GNT
files and sites having transliterated characters as well as lots more braille
resources given below.

letters used to transliterate the Greek to English. Also posted below is
a braille coded version of these files without accents.

posted here, please let us know where they are located so that they
might be fixed and others also be notified who may have previously
downloaded the files. Additionally, no matter which files you may be
embossing, any time, any where, it is always advisable to start with
just a couple of pages to see that everything is OK. These files should
have a formfeed every 25 lines.
Some of the books listed will be posted in two different size files.
Originally hand transcribed hardcopies of a book which have been scanned
with OBR by Catherine Thomas, braille@panix.com, and made into braille
ready files, will be posted as one braille volume, one file. This is
done for single-sided embossing. Secondly, if the original braille
volumes are small enough, two ormore may be combined into a single
volume and posted that way. This is to facilitate double-sided braille
embossing and also may involve changes in braille page numbering within
a volume. Books transcribed originally in computerized files have for
the most part not been altered with a few exception. Not all consecutive
file names with numbers reflect consecutive print page numbering. Also,
some older transcription codes differ slightly from more recent codes
where accenting and special symbols are concerned. Beware and choose
where options are available according to your personal preference.
Practical Use of the Greek
New Testament by Kenneth Wuest. This is a text file in a zip format.
Practical Use of the Greek New
Testament: This book is an encouragement to the serious Bible student
seeking to better understand the New Testament. However, even if you are
not a Greek scholar, you can glean some real benefits from reading this
volume. Braille readers will discover that the alphabet looks and sounds
very similar to our English braille alphabet. In fact, you can probably
figure out most of the words with just a little effort. Again, there
are some great truths to be found in this book. 40-cpl, 25-lpp
You will also find several books in the Braille Library as well as the
Christian Bookshare sections by Wuest. These include word studies for
the English reader and expanded translations of New testament books
The complete Expanded
Translation of the New Testament for the English reader by
Kenneth S. Wuest. This is a text file format that allows you to search every
reference by book, chapter and verse in one file, i.e., mat 1:1, or 1co
13:1, or phi 2:5, or phm 1:25, and rev 22:20 for examples. Wuest's
paragraph divisions are indicated by a period after the verse number.
KJV verse divisions were used as a guideline. This is a change from the
printed format used by Wuest.

Ray Summers' Essentials of New Testament Greek uses the eight case
approach to New Testament Greek, as does Dana and Mantey, rather than the five case found in most
other contemporary grammars. Using the eight case method simplifies the
five case which include the same concepts under fewer cases. For this
reason Summers' grammar, also Dana and Mantey, will be given first
place here.
