Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament
A new edition of this handbook being required, I have endeavoured to bring the information contained in it up to date. The principal alteration made in it is in regard to the numeration of the mss. The new system proposed by von Soden is described, and likewise the modification of the notation hitherto in use which Gregory, after consultation with a large number of Biblical scholars, has elaborated; and the latter has been adopted in this edition. A new section is also devoted to von Soden's theory of the textual history of the New Testament. In other respects, though there are many alterations in detail, the book remains substantially as before; but the Opportunity has been taken to issue it at a lower price, which, it is hoped, may make it more accessible to the students to whom it is most likely to be useful.
I have to thank many friends for suggestions and corrections, notably Prof. C. R. Gregory and Prof. J.

Handbook to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a serviceable guide to the textual criticism of the New Testament for students new to the subject. It lays no claim to rival the standard works of Gregory and Scrivener as a storehouse of statistics and bibliographical information. Instead, it indicates either those works which the author has chiefly consulted, or those which will be most useful to the student (especially the English student), who wishes to push his inquiries further. Such a work as this is in great measure dependent on the labours of others, to whom the author's indebtedness is fully acknowledged throughout. It has been possible to supplement and bring up to date the standard works to some extent; but the discussion of textual theories is fuller than the plans of those works admitted of. The author has tried to represent all the more important views fully and fairly, whether he agrees with them or not. It seemed advisable to indicate to the student the present state of the principal controversies with regard to textual theory and various textual problems have been discussed. Overall this book is an accessible guide to textual criticism of the New Testament and its significance on the main subject. 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 # 9781331488514_0
