The independent witness to the New Testament Greek text of manuscript 579, located at present in the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris
The thesis is centred around the belief that cursive 579 which comprises the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, is characteristically independent in its testimony to the New Testament text. To investigate these assumptions the study takes the following format: - The Prolegomenon. This discusses the origin and present location of the manuscript, external and internal characteristics, previous research on the manuscript, and delineation of intent of present research. The Collations. These form three-quarters of the thesis. Apart from Matthew from which only twelve sample Chapters are collated, Mark, Luke and John are fully collated. The collating base adopted is the Textus Receptus which follows the text of Beza's 1598 edition, the text underlying the 1611 Authorized Version. Variants in which 579 is alone or almost alone. The intention of this Chapter is to verify those instances of lone and almost lone readings as to whether 579 could be seen to be carrying the right text. More than one hundred instances are discussed using a wide range of criteria such as style of author, atticism and so on. Allies and Non-Allies of 579. Undoubtedly, the question of who the allies and non-allies of 579 are is investigated
