4. Editions of the Text:—Among the earlier works the most important is that of Sabatier, which is not yet superseded, in the Old Testament at least, _Bibliorum sacrorum Latinæ Versiones antiquæ, seu Vetus Italica, et cæteræ quæcunque in codicibus MSS. et antiquorum libris reperiri potuerunt, etc., opera et studio D. Petri Sabatier_, 3 vols. folio,[105] Rheims, 1743. Jos. Bianchini (Blanchinus), _Evangeliarium Quadruplex_, 2 vols. folio, Rome, 1749 (copies now cost about £4). After a long interval work in this field has been resumed in the _Old Latin Biblical Texts_, published at the Clarendon Press, Oxford, of which four parts have appeared:—1. _The Gospel according to St. Matthew from the St. Germain MS._ (g_{1}), _now numbered Lat. 11553 in the National Library at Paris, with Introduction and five Appendices, edited by John Wordsworth, D.D._, 1883 (6/-). 2. _Portions of the Gospels according to St. Mark and St. Matthew from the Bobbio MS._ (k), _now numbered G. VII. 15 in the National Library at Turin, together with other fragments of the Gospels from six MSS. in the Libraries of St. Gall, Coire, Milan, and Berne (usually cited as n, o, p, a_{2}, s, and t). Edited, with the aids of Tischendorf’s Transcripts and the printed Texts of Ranke, Ceriani, and Hagen, with two facsimiles, by J. Wordsworth, D.D., ... W. Sanday, D.D., ... and H. J. White, M.A._, 1886 (21/-). 3. _The Four Gospels, from the Munich MS._ (q), _now numbered Lat. 6224 in the Royal Library at Munich, with a Fragment from St. John in the Hof-Bibliothek at Vienna (Cod. Lat. 502). Edited, with the aid of Tischendorf’s Transcript (under the direction of the Bishop of Salisbury), by H. J. White,_ _M.A._, 1888 (12/6). 4. _Portions of the Acts of the Apostles, of the Epistle of St. James, and of the First Epistle of St. Peter from the Bobbio Palimpsest_ (s), _now numbered Cod. 16 in the Imperial Library at Vienna. Edited, with the aid of Tischendorf’s and Belsheim’s printed Texts, by H. J. White, M.A., with a Facsimile_, 1897 (5/-). (See notice in the _Expository Times_, April 1898, p. 320 ff.) 5. Wordsworth and White’s edition of the Vulgate is noticed by Berger in the _Bull. Crit._, 1899, viii. 141-144. It may be added here, as that critic observes, that insufficient regard is paid to the later history of the Latin text in this edition. At least one representative of a recension so important as that of the University of Paris in the thirteenth century might have been collated, and perhaps also the first printed edition, “the forty-two line” Bible. On the authorised edition of 1590 and 1592, see Eb. Nestle, _Ein Jubiläum der lateinischen Bibel. Zum 9 November 1892_, in _Marginalien und Materialien_, 1893; also printed separately.
