From now on the Baltic Sea Library will – with the help of Johanna Domokos  as our editor - include some texts in Sámigiella, as the Sámi are a Baltic  people as well, and hopefully in translation. A first yoik, Guldnasas  njirozan, that was published in Schefferus’ Lapponia in 1673, will be edited with all its different translations to Latin, English, German,  Swedish collected by Andreas F. Kelletat in Trajekt 2/1982.
