4.9/5 (23237 ratings)

Description:In 1863, the Reverend Frederick Field gave up his comfortable incumbency of Reepham to consecrate the latter years of his life to the preparation of the edition of fragments of the Hexapla published in 1875. He must have been a singular man. His deliberate antiquarianism in writing his Prolegomena or introductory notes in Latin, although perhaps intended to serve the interests of better communication, has meant that his scholarship has been less available to subsequent generations than it might otherwise have been. Any exasperation is tempered with respect for his collection of hexaplaric fragments that was intended to advance our knowledge of Origen's textual masterpiece, as indeed it has.Apart from the allure of eccentricity, why undertake a translation today of a 130 year-old Latin preface to an edition of scraps of a work that is more than 1600 years older still? The answer to that question lies in the importance of Field's research in the recovery of the fragments of the Hexapla, but primarily in the significance of the Hexapla itself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
