From the title page we read as follows: "The EmphaticDiaglott, containing the original Greek text of what is commonly styledthe New Testament (according to the recension of Dr. J. J. Griesbach) withan interlineary translation, on the renderings of eminent critics, andon the various readings of The Vatican Manuscript, No. 1209, in the VaticanLibrary, together with illustrative and explanatory foot notes, and a copiousselection of references, ..., by Benjamin Wilson."

Although the translator does not claim this version tobe superior to any other, he feels that this work presents certain valuablefeatures not found elsewhere. These are listed in the Preface.

Careful fidelity in giving true rendering of the originaltext into English has been maintained throughout. No regard whatever hasbeen given to prevailing doctrines or prejudices of sects, or the peculiartenets of theologians.

Help in this work was derived from works of great andlearned men. The sources include the following: lexicons, grammars, ancientand modern versions, commentaries (critical and explanatory), cyclopedias,and dictionaries (Bible and others). It is not presumed that this workis free from faults and errors.
