A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book is a study of the early Latin translations of the New Testament, with a particular focus on the Codex Sangallensis. Latin bibles are important for understanding the history of the New Testament, and the author shows how the Codex Sangallensis presents a non-vulgate, African-influenced version of the Latin text. The author shows that this text is not a true Vulgate text and that it contains an older Latin element that ought not to be neglected. The book demonstrates that an "African" influence was a marked feature in some of the earliest Latin copies of the NT and that the early versions of the Latin text go back into a common origin, which we designate as the Great Western Bilingual; a recension which was freely colored both in Latin and in Greek by the Opinions prevailing in the second century. The study of these early texts offers a unique window into the genesis of the Western readings in the New Testament. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

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.
