Lorenz, Peter E. A History of Codex Bezae’s Text in the Gospel of Mark (3110746050)
As the principal Greek witness of the so-called 'Western' tradition of the gospels and Acts, Codex Bezae’s enigmatic text in parallel Greek and Latin columns presents a persistent problem of New Testament textual criticism. The present study challenges the traditional view that this text represents a vivid retelling of the canonical narratives cited by ancient writers from Justin Martyr to Marcion and translated early into Syriac and Latin.
