Products Description

The publication of Erasmus's New Testament was a landmark in the critical study of Scripture and was the epitome of his (Erasmus of Rotterdam) desire for a return to the sources of the Christian tradition. Its production and legacy illuminate the intellectual climate of Western Europe and the growth of a new type of Biblical scholarship based upon scholarship methods. The original like our facsimile edition measures 13.25 inches tall, 9.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches thick. This facsimile edition consists of the original Greek text and a new translation into classical Latin arranged in parallel columns.

This text was the first Greek Testament to be published, appearing in 1516. Erasmus made alterations to his text and subsequent editions were produced in his lifetime, in 1519, 1522, 1527 and 1535. Although not based on the greater number of manuscripts available to scholars in later centuries, Erasmus's text served as the foundation for critical editions of the Greek New Testament into the modern era.
