Introduction to the textual criticism of the Greek New Testament
Nestle, Eberhard
Bible. New Testament -- Criticism, Textual
The New Testament is contained in vol. iii. The copy I use has the
date 1743 on the title-pages of three volumes, but there is a note at
the end, p. 1115, which says, “E prelo exiit hic tomus anno 1749.”
Romæ, 1713-19, in _TiGr._, p. 1350, is a misprint. The imprimaturs of
the first volume are dated 1737. The work was reprinted with new
title-pages at Paris by Fr. Didot, 1751. Copies now cost from £15 to
£25.
Footnote 106:
The word Coptic is not derived from the town in Upper Egypt called
Coptos, but is a modification of the Greek word Αἰγύπτιος.
Footnote 107:
The spelling Bahiric is due to a wrong vocalisation of the word.
Footnote 108:
On the Middle Egyptian, see W. E. Crum in the _Journal of Theological
Studies_, I. 3 (April 1900), pp. 416 ff.

Testament_ (Ephes. i. 6-ii. 8_b_). _Revue Biblique_, April 1900, pp.
248-253. The fragment is of the eighth or ninth century.
Footnote 111:
See also the Greek and Middle Egyptian manuscript published by Crum
and Kenyon, referred to above, p. 70.
Footnote 112:
The dates of Ulfilas’ birth and death are uncertain. He certainly
lived till autumn 381 or 383. The date of his life is variously given
as 310-380 or 318-388. According to Kauffmann, the Synod at which
Ulfilas was consecrated Bishop was that of Antioch, _De Encaeniis_,
341.
Footnote 113:
Or 1115 according to the Armenian reckoning.
Footnote 114:
Celsus’s polemic against Christianity has perished, but considerable
fragments are embedded in Origen’s Reply. See _Ante-Nicene Christian
Library_, vol. xxiii., (Clark, Edin.).
Footnote 115:
Clement of Alexandria cites Matt. xviii. 3 in four different ways. He
quotes Matt. v. 45 six times, and only once accurately.

Petropol. gr. 254, formerly cited as Paris. coisl. 212, written in the
year 1111, the oldest manuscript that Lagarde was able to use for his
edition of the _Apostolic Constitutions_. Further examples of the
untrustworthiness of manuscripts and printed editions will be found in
the small print at the end of this section.
