The Bulletin of the Bezan Club was a privately circulated journal that, to the best of my knowledge, consisted of 12 issues printed between 1925 and 1937. It was dedicated to studies about the problems of the so-called “Western Text” of the New Testament, but it contains many interesting articles on topics from palaeography to the complexities of the Diatessaron and other gospel harmonies. The issues that I have read offer a fascinating snapshot of one corner of New Testament textual criticism in the years between the two world wars.
The membership of the club, which never exceeded about two dozen names, includes many of the philological luminaries of the early twentieth century. To pick just a few:
- J. Rendel Harris (1852-1941)
- Kirsopp Lake (1872-1946)
- Hans Lietzmann (1875-1942)
- Elias Avery Lowe (1879-1969)
- Daniel Plooij (1877-1935)
- Theodor Zahn (1838-1933)
