^{page 300 note 3} For an absurd debate instigated by Buchanan regarding a Latin palimpsest of the Gospels from Tarragona (which only he was able to decipher by going to the top of a sky-scraper building in New York!), see the (sometimes acrimonious) papers by Pitollet, Camille and Batiffol, Pierre in The Oldest Text of the Gospels, with an Introduction by E. S. Buchanan (New York, 1924).Google Scholar An edition of this palimpsest, prepared by Buchanan, was printed by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, but subsequently suppressed. See also Sanders, Henry A., ‘Buchanans Publikationen altlateinischer Texte, eine Warnung’, Z.N T.W. XXI (1922), 291–9, and publications referred to under items 384, 420, and 459–61 in the present writer's Annotated Bibliography of the Textual Criticism of the New Testament (Copenhagen, 1955).Google Scholar

^{page 300 note 4} In his review of Buchanan's volume F. C. Burkitt expresses a caveat: although ‘it is quite possible that he has read h correctly in Ac. xiv. 6…this startling reference to Lc. x. 17 (or rather Matt. x. 23) is not legible in the photograph, and I think still needs verification before any argument can be built upon it. In the case of a Palimpsest the old rule holds good, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word must be established’ (J.T.S. IX (1908), 305f.). Likewise A. C. Clark expressed himself with due caution, ‘If this reading is correct (it does not appear in Berger's transcript), I can only regard the words sicut…LX[XII] as a note which has got into the text’ (The Acts of the Apostles (Oxford, 1933), p. 248).Google Scholar
