Excerpt from The Earliest Life of Christ

An English version was then made from the Latin. And, lastly, this English version was compared throughout word for word with the Arabic text. For the comparison Of the Latin and Arabic I am indebted to the kindness of Dr. A. N eubauer of the Bodleian Library. To the Rev. E. P. Barrow, m.a., formerly Rector Of Cholderton, and sometime Classical Tutor Of St. Mary's Hall, I am greatly indebted for a critical examination Of a large number Of points connected with the translation from Latin into English, for much valuable advice, and for enabling me, through his friend, the Rev. W. E. Daniel, Vicar of Holy Trinity, Frome, and Grinfield Lecturer on the Septuagint, to find an Arabic scholar to collate the English version with the Arabic. The Bishop Of Durham had previously interested himself SO far as to mention the names Of two Cambridge men well qualified for this work, but neither of these gentlemen had sufficient leisure. Mr. G. Buchanan Gray, b.a. (first Class in Semitic languages), Lecturer in Hebrew and the Old Testament in Mansfield College, Oxford, Pusey and Ellerton Scholar 1889, Junior Septuagint Prizeman 1890, and Kennicott Scholar 1891, by whom this portion of the work was eventually done, was strongly recommended to Mr. Daniel for the purpose by Dr. N eubauer and Dr. Driver, both Of whom had examined him for his degree. I cannot speak too highly of the care and pains which Mr. Gray has bestowed upon the work, or Of the critical acumen and scholar ship which he has brought to bear upon it. My Obligations to Professor Robinson in regard to Appendix X. Are described later on. To each and all of these gentlemen I desire to tender my sincerest thanks. I wish also at the same time to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Authors referred to in Table XI.
