The revised version of the New Testament, with a history of the present and former . HISTORY OF BIBLE REVISIONS. 5 Manuscripts thus written have be*n styled Uncials, while the others,written more in the form common among ourselves, are called line l^etween the two modes of writing may be drawn somewhereabout the tenth century. We may therefore say that 6;zr/(2/manuscriptsof the New Testament are more than one thousand years old, while theCursives are less than a thousand.
