Riassunto

Excerpt from Introduction to the New Testament, Vol. 2

The Latin tranflations of the Oriental'verfions, which are printed in the Polyglot Bibles, a1e wretched in an l1ighe1 degree than can be imagined2 and whoever re~ lies on their authority in fupport ofa reading, like Mill and Wetftein, will inevitably fall into error. Another circumfiance to which attention mutt be given is, that fome of the ancient verfions have in many places fuf feted alterations and great care mnf't be taken to diftin gullh the modern amendments from the genuine text of the ancient tranflator. Laftl ly, thofe tranflations, which were not immediately taken from. The Greek, are of no authority ln dete1n1ining the genuine text oftlie original, but only of that ve1fion from which they were taken. For infiance, all the Spanifh, French, and German tranf lations of the New Tel'tament, made before the fix teenth century, were taken immediately from the Latin. And the1ef ore even in thofe examples whe1e they are unanimous in a reading, their united voices are of no more authority than that of the Latin verfion alone.
