Introduction to the textual criticism of the Greek New Testament

Name: Introduction to the textual criticism of the Greek New Testament
Author: Nestle, Eberhard

Nestle, Eberhard

Bible. New Testament -- Criticism, Textual

I could desire no better motto for this third section than the words
  of Augustine: Codicibus emendandis primitus debet invigilare sollertia
  eorum qui scripturas nosse desiderant, ut emendatis non emendati
  cedant (_De Doctrina Christiana_, ii. 14, 21, where the saying about
  the interpretum numerositas, cited on page 108, is also found). Or if
  not these words, then those of our Lord himself, γίνεσθε δόκιμοι
  τραπεζῖται, which Origen applied to the verification of the canon, but
  which, taken in the sense of 1 Thess. v. 21, are equally applicable to
  the work of the “lower” criticism. Apollos, the pupil of Marcion, also
  vindicated the right of Biblical criticism with these same words.
  Epiphanius, _Haeres._, xliv. 2 (Zahn, GK., i. 175).

Footnote 130:

  The fragment was edited by Tregelles with a facsimile in 1867. It is
  given in Westcott’s _Canon of the N. T._, Appendix C, where also see
  the section on the Muratorian Canon, Part i. c. ii. It will be found
  also in Preuschen’s _Analecta, Kürzere Texte ..._ pp. 129-137 (the
  eighth number of G. Krüger’s _Sammlung ausgewählter kirchen- und
  dogmengeschichtlicher Quellenschriften_, Freib. and Leipzig, 1893).

Footnote 131:

  Quoted in Westcott, _Canon_, part ii. c. ii. § 1, and in Zahn’s
  _Einleitung_, ii. 179.

Footnote 132:

  Given in Preuschen. In the manuscripts it is entitled “Indiculum
  Veteris et Novi Testamenti et Caecili Cipriani.” It was first made
  known from a MS. at Cheltenham in 1886. As it is mostly assigned to
  the year 365 (see also Jülicher, _Einleitung_, p. 336) the words of
  W.-W. may be repeated here: “S. Berger tamen aliter sentit, rationibus
  commotus quarum una certe nobis satis vera videtur. Concordant enim
  numeri in Veteri Testamento cum codicibus Hieronymianis, e.g. in
  libris Regum quattuor, Esaiae, Jeremiae, et duodecim Prophetarum,
  Tobiae, et Macchabeorum secundo. Indiculus tamen sine dubio antiquus
  est” (p. 736).

  563.

Footnote 134:

  Translated into French, _Prairies d’or_, i. 123: one volume into
  English by Sprenger, 1841; Sayous, _Jésus Christ d’après Mohammed_, p.
  34.
