A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The more readable parts of this book have been de Hvered from time to time as lectures to the few among m- pupils who care for such things. The are published, together with certain chapters which cannot claim to be eas reading, in the hope that the whole book will prove useful to a wider circle of students, especially to those who, without wishing to become specialists in textual criticism, yet find that textual problems inevitabl enter into their studies. Many people tend to regard textual criticism as a disease. But it is neither a disease nora science, but simply the application of common sense to a class of problems which beset all inquirers whose evidence rests upon the authority of manuscript documents. And I shall be well content if I have succeeded in doing for the ordinar student of the classical and mediaeval writers what has been done so admirabl for students of the New Testament by Sir Frederic Kenyon s Handbook to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament and by Eberhard Nestle s Introduction to the Textual Criticism of the Greek New Testament. The author of a manual of this kind is necessarily carried into many departments of learning where the credentials that he can exhibit are more than doubtful. Though I have endeavoured wherever possible to go back to the original authorities and have rarely quoted what I have not been able to verify, yet in a book which deals with so man questions of controversy and contains such a mass of references I am well aware that many errors may have escaped my notice.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
