        2. Apocalypse of Peter

Text as Vol. 2.

                Volume  5. as above 1932

        Commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia
                on the Nicene Creed

Text reprinted from original Mss in Serta script, with Eng. trans.

Insert describing details of Vols. 1 to 7.

These latter three are extremely scarce, and vol. 2 is ex libris Lewisham
Public Library, circa 1976 ....  Pencilled prices of approx £18 per
volume probably fall far short of their present value.

I also have two vols by Tregellis on the Greek N.T. which must be
incredibly scarce.  Condition not marvellous, but unparalleled for their
critical acumen and detail re variant readings and recensions.

I am not offering these immediately, as I am rather attached to them!
However, should they excite you and you feel rich .....

Offers invited!

Alan
