This work, first published in 1847, is an account by Constantin von
Tischendorf (1815 74) of his journeying in the Middle East at the
beginning of the 1840s. It is part travel log and part account of
the Christian history of the area. After encounters with such men
as Mehmet Ali and Ibrahim Pasha, he visits the library of the
Patriarch of Alexandria. The German biblical scholar then travels
to the monastery of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai, where he makes
the extraordinary discovery of a previously unknown fourth-century
manuscript, one of the main witnesses to the Septuagint, before
reaching the main goal of his long journey - Jerusalem. This lively
narrative by a controversial scholar-explorer also entertains the
reader with some of the more unexpected elements of his travels,
such as an attack by robbers who are routed when he draws his
sword.
Constantin von Tischendorf (1815 74) was a pioneering textual
scholar of the New Testament, who discovered and transcribed early
manuscripts, notably the Codex Sinaiticus, his acquisition of which
provoked long-lasting controversies. The original German edition of
this book appeared in 1865, and sold 2,000 copies in three weeks;
this English translation (1868) was based on the improved and
expanded fourth German edition (1866). In it, Tischendorf applies
his enormous knowledge of early Christian literature and the oldest
Latin, Greek and Syriac gospel manuscripts to the question of the
date of the canonical gospel texts, which, he argues, had been
established by the end of the first century. Parts of the book are
highly polemical, with Tischendorf referring to 'the T bingen
fantasy-builder and the Parisian caricaturist' in his attempt to
refute contemporary theories about the person of Jesus.
Nevertheless his translator engagingly describes him as a 'great
and genial' scholar.
The German biblical scholar Constantin von Tischendorf (1815-74)
published his monumental eighth edition of the Greek New Testament
between 1869 and 1872. Following his death, the prolegomena was
compiled by colleagues and appeared between 1884 and 1894.
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. Volume 1 (1869) contains the text and
critical apparatus for the Gospels.

death, the work's Latin prolegomena was issued in separate parts by
Caspar Rene Gregory (1846-1917), assisted by Ezra Abbott (1819-84).
The present volume amalgamates the parts published in 1884 and
1890, comprising sections I-VIII and including detailed
codicological information.
