Extract

The Harvard Theological Review has recently carried an article by D. S. Wallace-Hadrill entitled “Eusebius and the Gospel Text of Caesarea.” Students of the Eusebian text have known for some time that Mr. Wallace-Hadrill was working on this problem with what appeared to be unusual thoroughness. His published conclusions in the Harvard Theological Review come as something of a surprise and require some attention.

8 The adoption of Wallace-Hadrill's categories in this paper should not be taken to imply acceptance of them. On the contrary, his Alexandrian category appears much too broad; the inclusion of A and 157, for example, needs argumentative support. Moreover, treating the vg as Western requires great caution, since this version is in some measure a revision of the Latin in the direction of the Alexandrian authorities.

9 In a few instances, Mras calls attention to a scripture citation which is imbedded in a passage from another Father who has been quoted by Eusebius. These citations have no claim to be Eusebian, and are — of course — ignored.

10 There is very little difference between the Gospel quotations in the Mras and Gifford editions. Reference is made to the location of the Matthean passages in Mras simply because Gifford is so inaccessible to most American readers. While the Mras text was only completed this year, it can doubtless be found in more libraries.
