Excerpt from The Old Testament Manuscripts in the Freer Collection In the publication of the manuscript of the Psalms the chief task has been to separate and read the badly decayed and black ened leaves. No pains have been spared in making the work as complete and accurate as possible, yet in all too many cases these decayed fragments of a manuscript have no evidence on most interesting passages. All decayed or lost lines and parts of lines have been filled out in the text publication from the Swete text, except where the amount of space in the manuscript proved the existence of a variant. The first fifteen Psalms are so fragmen tary, that it seemed best to give those lines only of which some part is preserved.

Excerpt from The New Testament Manuscripts in the Freer Collection Five years have elapsed since the publication of Part I of this volume, yet the editor has changed his views on the problem so little that this part of the work is in the main a reprint. However, in the tables of parallel readings MS 892 has been added, when found in agreement, except 44 cases in the table of Hesychian readings on pp. 48 ff. and 39 cases in a similar list on pp. 104 ff. As MS 892 is closely related to N, that is, pure Hesychian, there was no point in adding its evidence in tables of readings already classified as Hesychian. These tables of parallel readings were further corrected by use of the new collations of MSS 28, 153, and 22. Likewise some corrections have been taken from the reviews, notably from those by E. J. Goodspeed in the American Journal of Theology, xvii. pp. 240 ff. and in Classical Philology, ix. pp. 331 ff. Excellent as the Facsimile Edition is, over-reliance upon it has sometimes led this critic astray, notably in handling erasures. It is not necessary to enumerate the cases nor to note the misprints in his articles. All that is correct has been incorporated in the new edition. The publication of the Fragments of the Epistles of Paul completes the study of the four Biblical manuscripts bought by Mr. Freer in 1906. These badly decayed fragments were left until the last because of their supposed inferior value and still more because of the difficulty of separating and reading accurately such small and discolored pieces of parchment. Most of the labor of editing has fallen to this part of the work, in the course of which the original collation has been compared and corrected three times. Somewhat more was read in the first collation than could be seen on later examination, but the fragments now seem to be keeping perfectly and so will be available for future reference. Owing to the extreme discoloration of most of the fragments a facsimile edition is impracticable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
