2i6 CRITICISM OF NEW TESTAMENT ch. distinguished by the boldest and most striking departures from the received text. It is found in company with the Codex Bezae and its attendant group of minuscules, and with the Old Syriac. It shares with these the additions to, and (at the end of St Luke) the omissions from, the received text, of which some mention has been made on p. 93. It shares also their constant verbal divergences, suggestive of a time when strict accuracy in the transmission of the sac...red texts was not much regarded. The history of this type of text, and its position in modern textual criticism, will have to be considered in the final chapter ; at present we are only concerned in pointing out the witnesses to its existence. It is, naturally, in the earlier or African family of the Old Latin that these characteristics are most marked. Successive revisions gradually toned them down or removed them, until in the last days of the existence of this version it approximates to the type of text which we know to-day as the Vulgate.
