Some notes on the Whiston work.

===================

"... William Whiston, who acknowledged the lack of abrogation between prophecies and fulfillments but charged that second-century Jews had deliberately changed the Hebrew Bible so that it would not match the New Testament."

===================

"In the third part of his work he (Johann Gottlob Carpzov) endeavoured to prove this, in opposition to William Whiston, an Englishman, who, in an “Essay towards restoring the true Text of the Old Testament,” gave a decided preference to the Samaritan ltecension of the Pentateuch over tho Judajo-Masoretic version, and sought to prove that the Jews, in the controversy with the Christians in the second century after Christ, had falsified the manuscripts both of the Hebrew text and also of tho LXX."
