This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter ii the apparatus chiticus of the new testament crekft mss. The apparatus criticus is the whole collection of documents which is at the disposal of the critic. It consists ultimately entirely of Mss., though practically a large proportion of them can be used conveniently and adequately through printed editions.

But the meaning is that style of writing in which each letter is separate, and, 'roughly speaking, of a 'capital' shape, with some degree of curving. (2) Cursives.--Those written in a 'running hand' in which letters are ligatured together. The old theory about these two kinds of writing seems to have been that uncials were used in the earliest times, and that the cursive hand was adopted in the eighth or ninth century. Certain discoveries, however, show that this is not the case. The earliest division of writing, which is found long before the era of Christ, is into literary and private 'hands.' The former is at first always an uncial, the latter a cursive type. These two 'hands' must have existed s
