The author also examines the history of the transmission of the text and the role of textual criticism in restoring the original text. Overall, the book provides a detailed analysis of the textual history of the Gospels and sheds light on the challenges faced by scholars in reconstructing the original text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
