Summary
The following contributions to the criticism of the Greek Testament are now submitted to the Biblical student.
I. A transcript of the uncial Codex Augiensis Græco-Latinus of St Paul's Epistles. The importance of this venerable document, no less than its countless variations from the printed text in both languages, seems to make a full publication of its contents very advisable. No pains or diligence has been spared to render the copy here exhibited a faithful representation of the original manuscript.
II. A full and exact collation of eight manuscripts of the Gospels (three being Evangelistaria in uncial letters), of fifteen containing the Acts and Catholic Epistles, of fifteen copies of St Paul's Epistles, and thirteen of the Apocalypse, few of which have been previously used for critical purposes.
I have set down the variations of these fifty-one documents from the standard text (Elzevir, 1624) with a minuteness not before deemed necessary by others, or indeed by myself in my “Collation of Manuscripts of the Holy Gospels.” Not only have I noted the various readings strictly so called, but every peculiarity of grammatical inflexion or breathing, every erasure or error of the pen, every remarkable change, whether of accent or punctuation, will be found recorded in these pages. In adopting this plan, I have acted not so much on my own judgment, as the earnest desire of several scholars, who have wished my labours to present them with as true an image as possible of the original codices.
