Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... critical notes on various passages of the new testament. the gospel. Matthew. With regard to the title, Westcott and Hort say Introduction, 423, p. 321): "In prefixing the name eyaiteaion in the singular to the quaternion of 'the Gospels, ' we have wished to supply the antecedent which alone gives an adequate sense to the preposition kata in the several titles. The idea, if not the name, of a collective 'Gospel' is implied throughout the well-known passage in the third book of Irenseus, who doubtless received it from earlier generations. It evidently preceded and produced the commoner usage by which the term Gospel denotes a single written representation of the one fundamental Gospel." Compare Zahn, gk., i. 106 ff.; Einleitung, ii. 172 ff., 178 f.: "Of recent editors, Westcott and Hort have most faithfully interpreted the original idea by setting Evayyeiov on the fly-leaf, and Kara Maooalov, etc., over the separate books." I have followed the same principle in the Table of Contents prefixed to the Stuttgart edition of the New Testament. Compare above, pp. 164, 165.
