Excerpt from The Old Syriac Element in the d104 of Codex Bezae The following Essay contains a fresh investigation into the character of the text contained by the Cambridge Codex, Codex Bezae (Cod. D), and, since I have chosen the Book of the Acts for detailed examination, to a large extent into that contained by the Oxford Codex, Codex Laudianus (Cod. E). It is, I trust, from no waywardness or ingratitude to others that I must claim to be an independent worker in this field. Few probably, who have reviewed the evidence with any care, would hold that the works on Codex Bezae hitherto published have foreclosed further discussion of the questions suggested by its eccentricities. It is due to two of my immediate predecessors in the study of this Ms. that I should briefly allude to their work.
