Latin is the language in which the New Testament was copied, read, and studied for over a millennium. The remains of the initial 'Old Latin' version preserve important testimony for early forms of text and the way in which the Bible was understood by the first translators. Successive revisions resulted in a standard version subsequently known as the Vulgate which, along with the creation of influential commentaries by scholars such as Jerome and Augustine, shaped theology and exegesis for many centuries. Latin gospel books and other New Testament manuscripts illustrate the continuous tradition of Christian book culture, from the late antique codices of Roman North Africa and Italy to the glorious creations of Northumbrian scriptoria, the pandects of the Carolingian era, eleventh-century Giant Bibles, and the Paris Bibles associated with the rise of the university. In The Latin New Testament, H. A. G. Houghton provides a comprehensive introduction to the history and development of the Latin New Testament. Drawing on major editions and recent advances in scholarship, he offers a new synthesis which brings together evidence from Christian authors and biblical manuscripts from earliest times to the late Middle Ages. All manuscripts identified as containing Old Latin evidence for the New Testament are described in a catalogue, along with those featured in the two principal modern editions of the Vulgate. A user's guide is provided for these editions and the other key scholarly tools for studying the Latin New Testament.

Greek-Latin Parallel New Testament

Genre: Religion
ISBN: 1592445659

This Greek-Latin Parallel text of the New Testament is based on the Greek Testament edited by Johann Leusden, and the Latin New Testament edited by Benito Arias Montano (also referred to as Montanus). Montano was a sixteenth-century orientalist who is best known as the editor of the 'Antwerp Polyglot'. The Montano Latin edition is not the same as Jerome's Vulgate. In fact, Montano had to defend himself from charges of corrupting the Vulgate text because he made liberal use of the Rabbinical writings. Leusden was a celebrated seventeenth-century Dutch orientalist and theologian who produced several editions of the Greek New Testament between 1675 and 1699.
