Book Overview
Codex Zacynthius is a book that contains Greek palimpsest fragments of the Gospel of Saint Luke, compiled by Samuel Prideaux Tregelles in 1861. A palimpsest is a manuscript that has been overwritten with new text, erasing the old text. In this case, the original text was the Gospel of Saint Luke, and the new text was written over it, but the original text can still be seen faintly. Tregelles discovered these fragments on the island of Zakynthos (also known as Zacynthius) in Greece, hence the name of the book. The fragments contain portions of the Gospel of Saint Luke in Greek, and Tregelles provides a transcription and translation of the text. The book is a valuable resource for scholars studying early Christian manuscripts and the history of the Gospel of Saint Luke.Obtained In The Island Of Zante, By The Late General Colin Macaulay.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
