Editing Mikael Agricola (section)

===Liturgical books===
While Agricola was in Wittenberg, he translated three smaller [[liturgical book]]s into Finnish. These books were printed in 1549.<ref name="KIRJ"/>

''Käsikirja Castesta ia muista Christikunnan Menoista'' includes forms for christening, marriage and burial, as well as speeches for the sick, mourning and dying. It is translated from [[Olaus Petri]]'s corresponding work except for the christening and marriage portions, which are from Luther. It also contains minor elements translated from works of {{ill|Caspar Huberinus|de}}.

''Messu eli Herran echtolinen'' includes the form for a service. It is also based on Olaus Petri's work and a few Finnish manuscripts. In this book Agricola revealed his next mission: the translation of the [[Old Testament]].<ref name=kansallisbiografia>{{Cite web |last=Heininen |first=Simo |date=12 April 2021 |title=Agricola, Mikael |work=Kansallisbiografia-verkkojulkaisu.

''Se meiden Herran Jesusen Christusen Pina, ylesnousemus ia tauiaisen Astumus, niste Neliest Euangelisterist coghottuon'' tells about [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]]'s suffering. It is collected from all four [[gospel]]s. This book was influenced heavily by [[Johannes Bugenhagen]],<ref name="KIRJ"/> a teacher in [[Wittenberg]]. It was mainly translated from the German version, but some parts are influenced by the Swedish version and Agricola's own translation of the New Testament.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}
