Synopsis

An Introduction To The Textual Criticism Of The New Testament, With Analyses, Of The Respective Books, And A Bibliographical List Of Editions Of The Scriptures In The Original Texts And The Ancient Versions: The Critical Part Re-Written And The Remainder Revised And Edited By Samuel Prideaux — Thomas Hartwell Horne. This scholarly reference surveys the scope and method of New Testament textual criticism, detailing ancient translations, editions, and manuscripts, and tracing the history of the printed text across languages and centuries. It catalogs Syriac, Thebaic, Coptic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Gothic, Arabic, Slavonic, Persian, and Georgian versions, discusses major editors and manuscript evidence, and covers Western Latin texts, apocrypha, and patristic citations. The work outlines the evolution of textual criticism, the role of versions and citations, palimpsests, and the development of critical apparatus, emphasizing an evidence-based approach over dogmatic authority. It includes introductions to NT books, bibliographical lists, extensive indexes, and a methodological framework for editors and researchers to classify manuscript evidence and reconstruct the original Greek text through careful, comparative analysis.
