PREFACE, 
 
 The only question this digest seeks to answer is, 
 How far do the versions support these references? 
 
 HOWARD OSGOOD. 
 
 Rochester, July 28, 1899. 
 
THE TEXTS. 
 
 The texts consulted in verifying the references are : 
 
 The Old Testament in Greek * * edited ■■^" ^- by 
 Henry Barclay Svvete, Cambridge, 1 887-1 894, 3 
 vols. 
 
 LiBRORUM Veteris Testamenti Canonicorum ^ ^ 
 Pauli de Lagarde * "^ Gottingae, 1883. This does 
 not go beyond Estl;er. 
 
 Vetus Testamentum Graece "^ * Fridericus Field 
 ^ ^ Oxonii, 1859. 
 
 BiBLiA Sacra Latina '^ ^ edited by Heyse and Tisch- 
 endorf, Leipzig, 1873. 
 
 The Old Testament in Syriac, edited by Samuel 
 Lee, London, 1823. 
 
 Targum Onkelos * ^ von A. Berliner, Berlin, 1884. 
 
 Pentateuchus Samaritanus, edited by Petermann 
 and Vollers, Berlin, 1 872-1 891. 
 
 BiBLiOTHECA Samaritana, edited by Heidenheim, 
 Leipzig, 1884. 
 
 Twice only is the Targum on Samuel and Kings 
 referred to, but I have not considered it because 
 of the utter uncertainty of its readings. 
 
 Vercellone's varm of the Vulgate, and the Ambrosian 
 Syriac text have not been considered because the}^ 
 were published too late to have affected these ref- 
 erences of the British revisers to the versions.

 11 places. 
 No versions support the references in 33 places. 
 
 The majority of the versions is against the emenda- 
 tions in 151 places. 
 
4 THE REFERENCES. 
 
 The versions agree with the references in 31 places. 
 
 The majority of the versions is with the references 
 in 58 places. 
 
 There are seven places where the margin states that 
 "the text {i.e. the Hebrew) is probably corrupt" or 
 •'faulty": 2 Sam. 23: 8; 2 Chr. 34 : 6 ; Neh. 4: 23 
 (Heb. 4: 17); Prov. 7 : 22 ; Isa. 64: 5 (Heb. 64: 4); 
 Amos 4: 3; Zech. 14: 18. 
 
 Some of these texts are difficult of translation, the 
 Hebrew is obscure, but in none of them is there any 
 failure of complete manuscript authority for the pres- 
 ent reading-; and the most critical editions, Haer and 
 Ginsburg, give the present readings. 
 
 Note. — In the first line of the following quotations are given the 
 book, chapter and verse, with the text of the British Revision to 
 which, in the margin, they refer the ancient versions. In the second 
 line is given the marginal reference of the British revisers. In the 
 following lines are given the texts of the versions. 
 
 Where these editions of the Septuagint agree they are quoted as 
 "Swete" and counted as one text. Where they disagree they are 
 quoted under the editor's name and are counted as two or three texts. 
 
 All the versions quoted by name in the British Revision are: The 
 Septuagint 84 times, Vulgate 19 times, Syriac 17 times, Onkelos once, 
 Samaritan once, Targum twice, Aquila once. 
 
 The formulas of quotation are: "Some" 104 times, "many" 26, 
 " most " 4, " the ancient versions " 3, " several " 2.
