EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. 



'rpO WARDS the close of the year 1862, the " Arnoldische BuchhandlunK 1 ' 

 _L in Leipzig published the First Part of a Greek-Latin Lexicon of the 

 New Testament, prepared upon the basis of the "Clavis Novi Testament! 

 Philologica" of C. G. Wilke (second edition, 2 vols. 1851), by Professor C. L. 

 WILIBALD GRIMM of Jena. In his Prospectus, Professor Grimm announced 

 it as his purpose not only ("in accordance with the improvements in classical 

 lexicography embodied in the Paris edition of Stephen's Thesaurus, and in the 

 fifth edition of Passow's Dictionary edited by Rost and his coadjutors) to 

 exhibit the historical growth of a word's significations, and accordingly in 

 selecting his vouchers for New Testament usage to show at what time and 

 in -what class of writers a given word became current, but also duly to notice 

 the usage of the Septuagint and of the Old Testament Apocrypha, and 

 especially to produce a Lexicon which should correspond to the present con- 

 dition of textual criticism, ot exegesis, and of biblical theology. He devoted 

 more than seven years to his task. The successive Parts of his work re- 

 ceived, as they appeared, the outspoken commendation of scholars diverging 

 as widely in their views as Hnpfeld and Hengstenberg ; and since its com- 

 pletion in 1868 it has been generally acknowledged to be by far the best 

 Lexicon of the New Testament extant' 



' I regard it as a work of the greatest importance. ... It seems to me * 

 work showing the most pntient diligence, and the most carefully arranged 

 collection of useful and helpful references.' THB BISHOP OF GLOUCKSTBK 

 AND BRISTOL. 



' The use of Professor Grimm's book for years hns convinced me that it is 

 not only unquestionably the best among existing New Testament Lexicon*, 

 but that, apart from all comparisons, it is a work of the highest intrinsic 

 merit, and one which is admirably adapted to initiate a learner into an ac- 

 quaintance with the language of the New Testament It ought to be regarded 

 as one of the first and most necessary requisites for the study of the New 

 Testament, and consequently for the study of theology in general.' IV
