The Westcott-Hort New Testament is a critical edition of the Greek New Testament, first published in 1881 by scholars B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort. It aimed to provide a more accurate text by analyzing various ancient manuscripts, including the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus. Their work emphasized the importance of textual criticism in understanding the original writings of the New Testament. This edition has significantly influenced modern biblical scholarship and translations. It laid the groundwork for many subsequent translations, including the Revised Version and the American Standard Version. The Westcott-Hort text remains a key reference for scholars and theologians studying the New Testament.
