About this book

As the principal Greek witness of the so-called "Western" tradition of the gospels and Acts, Codex Bezae’s enigmatic text in parallel Greek and Latin columns presents a persistent problem of New Testament textual criticism. The present study challenges the traditional view that this text represents a vivid retelling of the canonical narratives cited by ancient writers from Justin Martyr to Marcion and translated early into Syriac and Latin.

Reviews

"Lorenz has produced a thoroughgoing and largely persuasive study of Codex Bezae. His combination of textual analysis and the historical context of the fourth/fifth centuries provides a model which New Testament scholars would do well to follow. It could prove fruitful in exploring the date, origin and setting of other manuscripts, especially the great uncials and the early large papyri (P46, P66, P75, etc). All students of the New Testament text are indebted to him. No New Testament textual critic can afford to be without this landmark study of Codex Bezae." Peter R. Rodgers, Filología Neotestamentaria 37 (2024), 123-125.
