A very rare two-volume original edition of H. C. Hoskier's scholarly refutation of the manuscript source material for the Critical Text of Westcott and Hort. Instead, Hoskier, along with John William Burgon and others, defends the stability and historical veracity of the Textus Receptus, which of course forms the basis for the King James Version.
No copies available on the market at any price.
Hoskier, H. C. Concerning the Genesis of the Versions of the New Testament (Gospels). Vol. I. and Vol. II. - Appendices. London. B. Quaritch. 1910 / 1911. 469 + 423pp.
Very good in original wraps; very minor rubbing at extremities. Spines are ever so slightly tanned and the first volume has a very slight forward lean. Textually crisp and clean.
