_TiGr._, 859-893. Scrivener^4, ii. 91-144, revised by Horner, with additions by Headlam. H. Hyvernat, _Étude sur les Versions Coptes de la Bible_ (_Revue Biblique_, v.

It is entitled, _The Coptic Version of the New Testament in the Northern dialect, otherwise called Memphitic or Bohairic, with Introduction, Critical Apparatus, and literal English Translation. Vol. I. Introduction, Matthew and Mark_, cxlviii. 484. Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1898; _Vol. II. Luke and John_, 548 pp., 1898. See notice by Hyvernat in the _Revue Biblique_, 1899, pp. 148-150, and also W. E. Crum, _lib. cit._, where reference is also made to the _Manuscrits Coptes au Musée ... à Leide_, 1897. As Horner’s edition as yet only covers the Gospels, the remaining portions of the New Testament must still be sought in the two parts published by Lagarde after Schwartze’s death, _Acta Apostolorum coptice_ (1852), and _Epistulae Novi Testamenti coptice_ (1852). On Brugsch’s _Recension_ in the _Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft_, vii. (1853) pp. 115-121, see _ibid._, p. 456, and Lagarde, _Aus dem deutschen Gelehrtenleben_, pp. 25-65, 73-77. Tattam’s Bohairic-Arabic edition was published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The first fragments of the New Testament in Sahidic appeared in Tuki’s _Rudimenta_ in 1778, and Woide’s editio princeps, announced in the same year, was brought out after his death by Ford in 1799. Amélineau’s _Fragments Thébaines inédits du Nouveau Testament_ were published in vols. xxiv.-xxvi. of the _Zeitschrift für ägyptische Sprache_ (1886-1888). Considerable portions of the Apocalypse were issued in facsimile by Goussen in the first Fasciculus of his _Studia Theologica_ (Lipsiae, 1897). Apocryphal and Pseudepigraphical writings have also been discovered in recent times, as, for example, the _Acta Pauli_ in a manuscript of the seventh century, written in Sahidic consonants with Middle Egyptian vocalisation. These are to be published by A. Schmidt. See _Addenda_, p. xv. See also Amélineau, _Notice des manuscrits coptes de la Bibliothèque Nationale renfermant des textes bilingues du Nouveau Testament_, in the _Athenæum_, No. 3601, p. 599. The foregoing versions are those of most importance in the criticism of the text. There are, however, one or two others which, though inferior in value, are still interesting. Among these is— (_d._) THE GOTHIC VERSION. [Sidenote: Gothic.]
