Three decades in the making-editors Westcott and Hort began their
work in 1853 and did not publish till 1881-this critical text,
correcting errors made by the original scribes, was painstakingly
assembled from four different kinds of source material; Syrian,
also known as Byzantine, the newest; Western, considered somewhat
less reliable; Alexandrian, the most elegant; and what the editors
called "Neutral," dating from the 4th century. The New Testament in
the Original Greek created a sensation among scholars of the day,
who considered it a supremely accurate replica of the original text
of the New Testament. It is still valued by scholars today, more
than a century after its first publication, and celebrated for its
erudition and accomplishment. It remains a vital resource for
serious students of the Bible and of ancient literature.British
theologian BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT (1825-1901) was appointed Regius
Professorship of Divinity at Cambridge University in 1870, and
served as Bishop of Durham from 1890 until his death.Irish
theologian and editor FENTON JOHN ANTHONY HORT (1828-1892),
professor of divinity at Cambridge University, founded the Journal
of Classical and Sacred Philology in 1854.
