In September 2010, a book on the life and work of Father Angelo Confalonieri was launched in Trento in Northern Italy, near Confalonieri's birthplace. The book includes a chapter by Bruce Birch on the two phrase books in a mixture of Iwaidja and Garig, and English, drafted by Confalonieri while living in a hut at the present-day location of the Black Point ranger station on Cobourg Peninsula from 1845 - 1847. The chapter includes a full translation of one of the phrase books based on work conducted over the past seven years by Birch and fellow Iwaidja Inyman team member Joy Williams Malwagag.

The book is in Italian, and is entitled Nagoyo:la vita di don Angelo Confalonieri fra gli Aborigeni d'Australia 1846-1848. An English translation is expected to be launched in Australia in the second half of 2011. A PDF of the chapter on Confalonieri's manuscripts is available for download here.
