The Sinai and Comparative New Testament, published in 1881 by Edwin Leigh. The New Testament was published following the Authorized Version, with variations in the Greek texts of the Sinai, Vatican, Alexandrian and Received noted with different styles of font. This New Testament edition allowed readers who were not familiar with Greek, or did not have had the income to purchase scholarly works, to quickly look and see what the latest discoveries in textual criticism were.
The first edition was bound in leather with the Gospels and a preface. Not many were published and it can be hard to find today.

Famous quotes containing the words comparative and/or testament:
“If you believe that a nation is really better off which achieves for a comparative few, those who are capable of attaining it, high culture, ease, opportunity, and that these few from their enlightenment should give what they consider best to those less favored, then you naturally belong to the Republican Party. But if you believe that people must struggle slowly to the light for themselves, then it seems to me that you are a Democrat.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.”
—Bible: New Testament John 16:21.
