Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Thomas Dobson, 1796.. viii,xvi,488,196,[16]pp. Quarto. Contemporary calf. Boards heavily rubbed, corners worn, front hinge cracked. Modern bookplate on front pastedown. Lightly foxed. Good. The first American edition, after the first London edition of 1789. The four gospels, with lengthy expositories by Campbell on the material. The work is dedicated to John Douglas, Lord Bishop of Carlisle, and contains a lengthy index of Greek phrases. Campbell was the principal of Marischal College in Aberdeen, now part of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, and this is considered an important scholarly work on his part. "Through all these years Campbell had diligently pursued his own critical and historical studies of scripture. These researches were finally published in 1789 as THE FOUR GOSPELS, acknowledged by contemporaries to be his scholarly masterpiece. This massive work contained fresh translations of the canonical gospels with extensive critical notes, as well as historical discussions of the nature and method of translating ancient terms and documents" - DNB. EVANS 30086. HILLS 56. ESTC W4383.
