Stephen did not even print all the materials that Henry had gathered; many
of whose various readings were published subsequently by Beza(179) from
the collator’s own manuscript, which itself must have been very defective.
With all its faults, however, the edition of 1550 was a foundation on
which others might hereafter build, and was unquestionably of great use in
directing the attention of students to the authorities on which alone the
true text of Scripture is based. This standard edition contains the
following supplementary matter besides the Epistle to the reader:
Chrysostom’s Hom. I in S. Matthaeum (then first published): _Carp._, _Eus.
t._: Πίναξ μαρτυριῶν of O. T. passages cited in the N. T. being (1)
literal, (2) virtual: seventy-two Hexameter lines, headed Ερρικος ο
Ρωβερτου Στεφανου, φιλοθεω παντι: _prol._ by Theophylact following “Lives”
by Sophronius and Dorotheus of Tyre, with κεφ. _t._ before each Gospel:
τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._, _Eus._ Before the Acts stand Ἀποδημία Παύλου and
Euthalius περὶ τῶν χρόνων, κεφ. _t._ Before the Epistles is a new
title-page. Chrysostom’s _prol._ on the Pauline Epistles begins the new
volume. Each separate Epistle has prefixed _prol._ (chiefly by Theodoret)
and κεφ. _t._ The Acts and Epistles have κεφ., but the Apocalypse no prol.
or κεφ., except the ordinary Latin chapters, which are given throughout
the N. T., subdivided by letters.
R. Stephen’s smaller edition (16mo), published in 1551 at Geneva, though
that name is not on the title-page, is said to contain the Greek Text of
1550 almost unchanged(180), set between the Vulgate and Erasmus’ Latin
versions. In this volume we first find our present division of the N. T.
into verses: “triste lumen,” as Reuss calls it (p. 58), “nec posthac
extinguendum.”
