The Dean of - Christ Church has completed a new part,

con- taining the First Epistle to the Corinthians, of the scholarly recension of the Vulgate New Testament which the late Bishop Wordsworth began a 'generation ago (Clarendon Press, 16s. net). The Gospels were finished by 1898, Acts appeared in 1905 and the Epistle to the Romans in 1913. The recension of the text of Corinthians is based on some thirty manuscripts and has been prepared with infinite pains. The three different arguments prefixed by different scribes to the Epistle and the variant chapter-headings that occur are given in the intro- ductory matter. Students will be grateful to the Dean for this new instalment of a masterly edition of St. Jerome's version.
