Anderson's famous yet rare English translation (1866) of the 3rd to 4th century Codex Sinaiticus Greek New Testament, thought by scholars to be the earliest complete New Testament in existence. THIS IS NOT A SCANNED OR FACSIMILE EDITION. It is published in easy-to-read Georgia font with 2 points between verses with Anderson's original notes. Also find public domain versions of the last three books of the Sinaiticus: the Epistle of Barnabas, Shepherd of Hermas, and the Teaching of the Twelve (aka Didache). Finally, we add the Sonnini Manuscript (Acts 29, "Paul in Britain"). Please check out my new translations of "Barnabas," "Didache," and "The Odes of Solomon" at Apostolia.us.

A first-hand account of this amazing discovery, followed by an assessment of its historical importance. While visiting St. Catherine's monastery in the Sinai, the author found the oldest complete New Testament bible, with most of the Old Testament as well. Also includes The Mount Sinai Manuscript of the Bible.

The story of how the Codex Sinaiticus was created and used in the ancient church; how it was preserved for centuries at the monastery of St. Catherine's, Mount Sinai; its subsequent history and how its pages came to be divided and dispersed; and how it has been compiled again and made accessible to a worldwide audience for the first time.--From publisher description.

The manuscripts that form the Greek New Testament are scattered throughout the world and are usually only accessible to scholars and professionals. These were the manuscripts read by the earliest Christians, which comprised their "New Testament." In his volumes, Philip Wesley Comfort bridges the gap between these extant copies and today's critical text by providing accurate transcriptions of the earliest New Testament manuscripts, with photographs on the facing pages so readers can see the works for themselves. Comfort also provides an introduction to each manuscript that summarizes the contents, date, current location, provenance, and other essential information, including the latest findings. This allows students and scholars to make well-informed decisions about the translation and interpretation of the New Testament. Volume 1 includes manuscripts from Papyrus 1-72. Volume 2 includes manuscripts from Papyrus 75-139 as well as from the uncials. In addition, it features a special section on determining the date of a manuscript. This two-volume set replaces the previously published single volume Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts, as it contains many new manuscripts, updated research, and higher quality images of all manuscripts previously covered.

Tracing the Gospel text from script to illustration to recitation, this study looks at how illuminated manuscripts operated within ritual and architecture. Focusing on a group of richly illuminated lectionaries from the late eleventh century, the book articulates how the process of textual recitation produced marginalia and miniatures that reflected and subverted the manner in which the Gospel was read and simultaneously imagined by readers and listeners alike. This unique approach to manuscript illumination points to images that slowly unfolded in the mind of its listeners as they imagined the text being recited, as meaning carefully changed and built as the text proceeded. By examining this process within specific acoustic architectural spaces and the sonic conditions of medieval chant, the volume brings together the concerns of sound studies, liturgical studies, and art history to demonstrate how images, texts, and recitations played with the environment of the Middle Byzantine church.

A defense of the Authorized version [King James version]. They claim that most modern translations use corrupt Greek manuscripts and suffer from translator bias.

"Here is a life of Wagner told by those who rubbed shoulders with him in the course of his turbulent and turpitudinous three score years and ten. Few composers have led such eventful lives or excited such violent views. No one could be indifferent to Wagner, and his contemporaries were not slow to record their impressions of a man they either idolized or demonized. This is the story of how they remembered Wagner and how they wanted posterity to remember him. But it is also the story of his life told with immediacy, wit, affection and awe, all qualities that have largely been lost from later accounts of Wagner."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
