Excerpt from The Syro-Latin Text of the GospelsThe rough draft of this Essay was drawn up before the publication Of the Sinaitic Palimpsest in October 1894. Since that time the whole has been re-written. One note however that on Luke ii. 5 (see p. 28 f.) - I have ventured to leave exactly as it stood before I saw the Sinaitic text, appending a statement of the evidence derived from that ms., because, as a concrete example, it seems to me to indicate how far results obtained by a critical process are likely to be right. I may be allowed to add that again and again I have found my conclusions confirmed by the Sinaitic text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
