Extract

The work of Eusebius of Caesarea has come to be regarded as important for the understanding of the local text of Caesarea. The process by which Eusebius has achieved this position has been exhaustively examined by B. M. Metzger. The present study of the Gospel text of Eusebius is based on a collation of his quotations with the textus receptus, the text of Eusebius being that of the G.C.S. editions in all works except the Praeparatio Evangelica, for which Gifford's edition of 1903 has been used.
