"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 IV
Contains the Catholic Epistles and the Acts of the Apostles; edited from MS. Oriental 424; the Apocalypse; edited from MS Curzon 128 in the care of the British Museum.
* Page numbered & bookmarks for all scripture chapters are added by BiblioKimi.
