Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Concerning the Genesis of the Versions of the N. T: Remarks Suggested by the Study of and the Allied Questions as Regards the Gospels; Intended as a Supplement to the Library Publication of the Morgan Ms.
With these preliminary remarks, it is needless to apologize for taking the pains to print the notes accompanying the text of the magnificent purple and gold codex now belonging to Mr. J. P. Morgan, and which we have recently issued. The so-called Old Latin texts, mixed as they are, are now in a fair way of being understood from recent publications. Berger's work on the Vulgate text reminds us how much Old Latin pervades the mss. Of the H ieronymic recension. Of these mss. We have not a few in Europe of the sixth to eighth centuries, which have been but insufficiently examined. If this essay should lead to reprints with proper notes of these mss. We shall be well repaid for the effort to call attention to the fact that nothing can safely be neglected which may throw light on these problems.
