Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
The German biblical scholar Constantin von Tischendorf (1815-74)
published his monumental eighth edition of the Greek New Testament
between 1869 and 1872. Influenced by the pioneering scholarship of
Karl Lachmann (1793-1851), who had first moved away from relying on
the Textus Receptus, Tischendorf placed key emphasis on the witness
of older uncial manuscripts, most notably the Codex Sinaiticus
(which he rediscovered) and the Codex Vaticanus. His painstaking
work laid the foundations for the creation of modern critical
texts, and the vast amount of manuscript evidence he collated has
ensured that this edition remains a standard work of reference for
biblical scholars and textual critics. Following Tischendorf's
death, the work's Latin prolegomena was issued in separate parts by
Caspar Rene Gregory (1846-1917), assisted by Ezra Abbott (1819-84).
First published in 1894, this part contains sections IX-XIII and
addresses the versional and patristic evidence.
