Synopsis
Excerpt from The Apocrypha: Translated Out of the Greek and Latin Tongues; Being the Version Set Forth A. D. 1611 Compared With the Most Ancient Authorities and Revised A. D. 1894
The Westminster Committee completed their first revision of the First Book of Maccabees on July 5, their second revision on November 3. 1881. Their first revision Of the Books Of Judith and Tobit was completed on July 6, their second revision on October 11, 1882. With regard to the Greek text they derived great assistance from Dr. Scrivener. But the number Of places in which it was thought right to abandon readings that seemed to be represented in the Authorised Version was not large. The English Version was found to require much care. In the First Book Of Maccabees, for example, a well-known peculiarity Of the writer had been obliterated by the repeated introduction, with or without the use or italics, of the words God' and the Lord,' which never occur in the best Greek text. Archbishop Trench worked with the Committee until they were close to the end Of the First Book Of Maccabees. Dean Stanley also attended up to about the same time: Principal Brown did not take any part in the work.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and interpretation of a selection of religious texts known as the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha, a collection of writings not considered part of the canonical Hebrew Bible but often included in Christian Bibles, has been the subject of scholarly debate and interest for centuries. The author's exploration of this topic is presented through a detailed account of the process undertaken by a committee of scholars tasked with revising the 1611 Authorized Version of the Apocrypha. The book delves into the complexities of translating ancient texts, the challenges of textual criticism, and the ongoing theological debates surrounding the Apocrypha's inclusion in the Bible. It also provides insights into the intellectual and cultural context of late Victorian England, a period marked by significant religious and literary shifts. By carefully examining the history and development of the Apocrypha, the author invites readers to consider the evolving relationship between text and interpretation, the power of language, and the enduring significance of religious writings in shaping human thought and culture. The book ultimately reveals the richness and complexity of the Apocrypha, challenging readers to engage with its diverse voices and interpretative possibilities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243125326_0
