Summary This book pertains to the early Arabic translations of the canonical Gospels, and is based on extensive research in over two hundred manuscripts, copied between the eighth and the nineteenth centuries. The manuscripts were collated from twenty-one different library collections in Europe and the Orient. Each individual manuscript was examined and subsequently grouped into twenty-four families.
