Sinopsis

Unlocking the mystery behind a contested verse in St. John’s Gospel.

This rigorous study examines how Latin recensions, African and Italian texts, and early manuscripts shape our understanding of a key verse and its origins. This book traces the argument through detailed manuscript evidence, including two Latin witnesses from before the commonly cited era. It explains how scholars use diplomatics, text families, and early church fathers to weigh competing readings. The author presents a clear method for evaluating textual authority and the place of the African Vulgate in the Western tradition.

  • How scholars classify Latin translations and the concept of recensions.
  • How early manuscripts and patristic quotations influence modern textual decisions.
  • The role of particular manuscripts, like the Santa Croce text, in building a case for ancient readings.
  • A framework for comparing African and Italian textual traditions without spoilers or surprises.
Ideal for readers of biblical criticism, manuscript studies, and the history of the Western text, this edition offers a focused look at how textual evidence is gathered, weighed, and interpreted.

Excerpt from Two Letters on Some Parts of the Controversy Concerning 1. John V. 7: Containing Also an Enquiry Into the Origin of the First Latin Version of Scripture, Commonly Called the Itala

It is obviously a matter of the greatest importance that all accessible evidence upon this important question should be laid before the public, and my principal object in now. Addressing you, is to communicate my observations upon two latin manuscripts of a date anterior to any hitherto attributed to those containing the verse, by the opposers of its genuineness; which however, will be shown to contain it.
