The development of stereotypes concerning the Negro
White students in grades 4 to 11 of a Virginia school were asked to compare Negroes and whites on 60 traits. Younger students showed less agreement among themselves and often disagreed with the older students. It is suggested that young children first acquire a generally unfavorable attitude toward the Negro and are unwilling to attribute to him any good traits. With experience and age the students learn the adult stereotypes which allow the Negr…

Khanmeti Palimpsest Fragments of the Old Georgian Version of Jeremiah
Among the innumerable fragments and scraps of manuscripts which have percolated through to Western Europe from the renowned Rümpelkammer at Cairo, there have been found not a few palimpsest leaves bearing the marks of other milieus and having traced upon them characters in tongues other than Hebrew. Chance brought the writer on the trail of one such vagrant parchment during a visit to Oxford in the summer of 1921; an investigation of the hand-lis…
Catalogue of the Georgian Manuscripts in the Cambridge University Library
The Georgian Manuscripts of the Cambridge University Library, described below, might properly be called Georgian manuscript fragments. They are without exception individual leaves of different codices which have come into the possession of the Library at different times and from various sources. The date of the documents varies over a wide range, from the earliest period of Georgian literary activity down to the last century, and the type of scri…
Greek Script and Georgian Scribes on Mt. Sinai
In a joint article on the Koridethi Gospels, published by K. Lake and the writer some years since, attention was called to the eclectic character of the Greek alphabet employed in the Koridethi codex, and emphasis laid on the mechanical and unnatural ductus of the writing. I there advanced the hypothesis that these peculiarities, when taken in connection with certain others, tended to show that the scribe was not a Hellene by birth, but probably …
The Athos Codex of the Georgian Old Testament
Georgian literature, if it must yield the palm to the Armenian for extent and variety of content, is in at least one respect distinctly superior to its neighbor. A large body of extremely ancient manuscripts have survived, which have preserved to us a highly diversified series of texts. And in general the oldest Georgian manuscripts usually contain the most valuable material. This is true of the Old Testament; the most complete, and on the whole …
The Georgian Text of Fourth Esdras from the Athos Manuscript
In the edition of the Georgian text of Fourth Esdras from the Jerusalem manuscript (I), published in this REVIEW, vol. XIX, 1926,1 presented such information as was then available about the other and older Ms. containing this text, namely, that of the lavra of Iveron on Mt. Athos (O). In the summer of 1927 my hope of gaining access to this precious MS. was fulfilled, and the first volume of it was photographed by Professor K. Lake, the Rev. A. W.…
The Serâbît Inscriptions: I. The Rediscovery of the Inscriptions
In the spring of 1927 a small expedition, consisting of Professors Lake and Blake, Mrs. Blake, and the Reverend A. W. Johnson, went to Mt. Sinai to study the manuscripts in the Monastery of St. Catherine. Some results relating to our more immediate aim will be published later, but the most important outcome was entirely foreign to the original plan
The Caesarean Text of the Gospel of Mark
The discussion of the Caesarean text, like so much in the textual criticism of the gospels, really begins with Griesbach, who in 1811 pointed out that Origen used different texts in his commentaries on Matthew and on John. About 1896 either Hort or, more probably, Sanday made the further statement that Codex I resembled the text of Origen. This led to the editing of Codex I and its allies and their identification as part of a larger family, which…
Ancient Georgian Versions of the Old Testament
One of the most important questions in ancient Georgian literature has to do with the old Georgian versions of the Bible. The problems in this field are very complex. Not only is the history of the translation of the Old Testament entirely distinct from that of the New, but in each of them the translations were made by various hands from different languages and different types of text

Macler's Armenian Gospels
The well-known Armenist of the École Nationale des Langues Orientales Vivantes at Paris, Professor Frédéric Macler, has laid New Testament scholars and those who are interested in the Caucasian languages, more particularly Armenian, under a decided obligation by the publication of this elaborate study of the text of Matthew and Mark in the Armenian version. What makes the book of especial value is the fact that we have here a large number of vari…
The Text of the Gospels and the Koridethi Codex
Since the time of Griesbach it has been generally recognized that the main problem of textual criticism in the New Testament is due to the existence of three distinct types of text, the Neutral, Western, and Syrian (or Antiochian). The great contributions of Westcott and Hort were the clear delineation of this problem and the establishment in considerable detail of the Neutral text. The Western text they only indicated in outline, and the Antioch…

The Georgian Version of Fourth Esdras from the Jerusalem Manuscript
The last editor of Fourth Esdras, Bruno Violet, in summing up the literature which had appeared on the subject between the first and second parts of his edition, observes with regret that he is unable to add anything more to his original discussion of the Georgian version. In substance his conclusions were as follows. The Georgian printed text of Fourth Esdras is an eighteenth-century translation from the Latin. Only two manuscripts of the origin…
