Excerpt from Handbook to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament A new edition of this handbook being required, I have endeavoured to bring the information contained in it up to date. The principal alteration made in it is in regard to the numeration of the mss. The new system proposed by von Soden is described, and likewise the modification of the notation hitherto in use which Gregory, after consultation with a large number of Biblical scholars, has elaborated; and the latter has been adopted in this edition. A new section is also devoted to von Soden's theory of the textual history of the New Testament. In other respects, though there are many alterations in detail, the book remains substantially as before; but the Opportunity has been taken to issue it at a lower price, which, it is hoped, may make it more accessible to the students to whom it is most likely to be useful. I have to thank many friends for suggestions and corrections, notably Prof. C. R. Gregory and Prof. J. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
