Herman C. Hoskier

Herman Charles Hoskier (1864–1938), was a biblical scholar, British textual critic, and son of a merchant banker, Herman Hoskier (1832–1904).

Hoskier, as textual critic, generally but not entirely supported the Byzantine text-type against the Alexandrian text-type. He compared, in ''Codex B and It Allies'', the text of Codex Vaticanus with Codex Sinaiticus, and showed how many significant disagreements the best witnesses of the Alexandrian text have. Hoskier attempted to demonstrate that Vaticanus presents a text which has been conformed to the Coptic versions. Hoskier also compared the text of Minuscule 700 with the Textus Receptus, where he noted 2724 differences between the two.

Hoskier collated every known Greek manuscript of the Apocalypse up to 1918. This took 30 years. The result of this work was published in 1929 (''Concerning the Text of the Apocalypse''). Hoskier shows parallels between Papyrus 46 and the Ethiopic Version in the Pauline epistles. Provided by Wikipedia
