This book sheds light on the career of Samuel Prideaux Tregelles,
and in doing so touches on numerous aspects of nineteenth-century
British and European religious history. Several recent scholars
have celebrated the 200th anniversary of the German textual critic
Tischendorf but Tregelles, his contemporary English rival, has been
neglected, despite his achievements being comparable. In addition
to his decisive contribution to Biblical textual scholarship, this
study of Tregelles' career sheds light on developments among
Quakers in the period, and Tregelles's enthusiastic involvement
with the early nineteenth-century Welsh literary renaissance
usefully supplements recent studies on Iolo Morganwg. The early
career of Tregelles also gives valuable fresh detail to the origins
of the Plymouth Brethren, (in both England and Italy) the study of
whose early history has become more extensive over the last twenty
years. The whole of Tregelles's career therefore illuminates
neglected aspects of Victorian religious life.
