About this title

Synopsis

Renowned nineteenth-century textual critic Frederick Scrivener presents sixty-three manuscripts of the Greek New Testament and other like documents in this volume. Of each of these, Scrivener provides a general account and estimate of their respective critical values, and then subjoins a comparison of the text of the chief of them with that of his own edition (Editio Major 1887) of Stephens' standard New Testament of 1550.

About the Author

Frederick Scrivener (1813-1891) was one of the great textual critics of the nineteenth century. A contemporary of Westcott and Hort, Scrivener differed from them in his preference for the Majority text. He played a key role in the formation of the English Revised Version. Scrivener is also known as one of the great publishers of ancient manuscripts.
