What this translation covers

Historical English translation · 1863
English: Herman Heinfetter (Frederick Parker)

The New Testament translation and notes from Heinfetter’s 1863 sixth edition, titled A Literal Translation of the New Testament … from the Text of the Vatican Manuscript. This is a historical printed English edition, not a fresh translation of every page of Vat.gr.1209. It does not include the Old Testament, and its full New Testament should not be equated with the surviving fourth-century portion of the codex.

Scan-derived text with substantial OCR errors in places, especially notes, numerals, and Greek quotations. Heinfetter’s distinctive wording is retained. The publisher’s advertisements and introductory matter are omitted; the printed errata are retained. This edition has not been freshly proofread against the scan.

A record of generation of Jesus Christ, a son of Dayid, a son of Abraham.

Historical OCR reading from the opening of Matthew; “Dayid” is a scanning error in the source text. This edition retains Heinfetter’s distinctive nineteenth-century wording.
