Samuel Prideaux Tregelles (1813-1875) was a pioneer of nineteenth-century Biblical textual scholarship with his seven-volume edition of the Greek New Testament from ancient sources. Volume 2 (1861) describes the manuscripts consulted, and contains the Gospels of Luke and John in Greek and Latin.

Tregelles' seven-volume edition (1857 1879) of the Greek New Testament from ancient manuscripts was a landmark of Biblical scholarship.
