Published in 1987: This posthumous publication (1902) on the
important Miscellanies of Clement, includes the complete Greek text
of Book Seven with English translation and detailed notes. This is
preceded by an extensive introduction based on the editor's
lectures, discussing Christianity and philosophy in Clement's
foundational work, which relates to a Victorian debate concerning
the supposed pollution of 'pure' Christianity by 'alien' Greek
thought. The Editor argued that not only had Hellenism been present
from the earliest days of Christianity, but also that the
interaction between the two had resulted in a 'de-secularization of
philosophy'. He also emphasised Clement's view that the archetypal
Christian ought to live 'as much by prayer and love as by knowledge
and thought'.

Samuel Prideaux Tregelles (1813-1875) was a Cornish-born Biblical
scholar who travelled to major libraries all over Europe in order
to study ancient manuscripts. Biblical textual criticism was a
burgeoning new field in the mid-nineteenth century, with leading
scholars including Lachmann and Tischendorf in Germany and
Tregelles' contemporaries Scrivener, Westcott and Hort in England
all working towards the ideal of a more authoritative Greek New
Testament text than had previously been available. This volume
contains the short Volumes 5 (1870) and 6 (1872) of Tregelles'
edition (the Epistles continued, and Revelation), which the author
had originally intended to publish together, along with the
posthumous Volume 7 (1879) containing Prolegomena (compiled by F.
J. A. Hort and A. W. Streane from earlier publications by
Tregelles), and additional collations of parts of Codex Sinaiticus
and Codex Vaticanus. The Greek text is accompanied by Jerome's
Latin Vulgate and a full textual apparatus.
