Notes: Edited by John Mill (1645-1707), who became principal of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, in 1685. He spent about thirty years over his task, which was begun partly at the suggestion of Edward Bernard, Savilian professor, and with the countenance of Bishop Fell, and was completed through the friendly aid of John Sharp, archbishop of York, who obtained for Mill in 1704 a prebendal stall at Canterbury, and the royal patronage for his work. He died a fortnight after its publication.

The text of this edition, perhaps the most famous Greek Testament of the eighteenth century, is a reprint of Stephanus' text of 1550, with a very few slight variations. The apparatus includes the material collected by Mill's predecessors (as Curcellaeus, Walton and Fell), vastly increased by himself and others.

The monumental Prolegomena are divided into three parts dealing with (1) the Canon of the New Testament, (2) the history of the text, including the patristic citations and early editions, and (3) the plan of his own edition.
