Codex Bezae

From Bible Encyclopedia

Codex Bezae, was published at Cambridge, at the expense of the University, by Dr. Kipling. These editions exhibit their respective prototypes, line for line,and word for word, to a degree of similarity hardly credible. The types were cast for the purpose, in alphabets of various forms, that they might be varied with those of the manuscript, and represent it more exactly ; and the ink was composed to suit the color of the faded pigment. Nothing equal to them had appeared in the , world of letters.
