Excerpt from The Origin of the Leicester Codex of the New Testament

It is at first sight not a little curious to the person who commences the critical study of the documents of the New Testament to find that he can discover no settled proportion between the age of a manuscript and the weight attached to it. It is true that the best editors seem to have agreed in arriving (often by different roads) at the conclusion that the earliest text is to be found in the main in the earliest codices, but they seldom seem to enunciate this as a fixed principle of criticism, and even when their results are such as would flow with comparative ease from such an assumption, we find that we are not permitted to infer that any such empirical method has been employed by them when their critical apparatus shews that they have given in many cases an almost equal weight to some of the youngest MSS. which exist.

A little study, however, soon convinces the tyro of the impossibility of determining any law by which the value of a codex can be expressed in terms of its age only without reference to its history, and leads him to expect occasional eccentric distributions of authority which may make the first of two codices to be the last, and conversely. Perhaps no more striking instance of this can be found than in the pre-eminence given to the Leicester Codex of the New Testament over the vast number of MSS. written in the cursive hand and the greater part even of those written in the uncial character.

A reference to the critical apparatus of Tregelles' New Testament will shew that along with those uncial MSS. upon which he bases his text he makes use of readings from three MSS. denoted (after the usual custom for cursives) by the numbers 1, 33, 69.
