Adnotationes in Novum Testamentum (1457 Valla), ms.

Collatio Novi Testamenti (1453) is a ms. by Lorenzo Valla.

Abstract

A critical comparison of the Latin New Testament with the original Greek text.

Valla completed a first draft of the Collatio Novi Testamenti in 1443 and continued to work on this version up to 1453, when he dedicated it to Pope Nicholas V. He then revised this first version, leaving at his death in 1457 a clearly more sophisticated, though shorter, text that carried the title "Adnotationes in Novum Testamentum". It was this text that Erasmus "discovered" and published in 1505.

Editions

Circulated in ms. form until it was "rediscovered" by Desiderius Erasmus, who published it in 1505.
