"This edition of the North Coptic Version of the New Testament was undertaken at the suggestion of Dr. Wallis Budge, Keeper of the Egyptian Department of the British Museum. The original idea was to ascertain the character of the MSS., and to print a text with various readings of ten or twelve authorities. After the collation of thirty MSS. of the Gospel of S. Matthew, of three Lectionaries, of the Curzon Catena, and the sufficient examination, of six other MSS-, it seemed best to give the result of this work in full, thereby saving the labour and time of other investigators in a somewhat thankless field, where the recent date of all the MSS. deprives them of great interest."

Volume II
Contains the Gospels of S. Luke and S. John edited from MS. Huntington 17 in the Bodleian Library.
* Page numbered & bookmarks for all scripture chapters are added by BiblioKimi.
