calls it the " most valuable help to the critical and grammatical study of the Psalms." — Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, vii, 956; Allibone, Dictionary of Au- thors, i, 324.
By-ways (nfepV)?? ^n'??, orachoth' ahalkal- loth' , tortuous paths; Sept. vcoi Suarpa^uivai). There are roads in Palestine, but it is very easy to turn out of them and go to a place by winding about over the lands, when such a course is thought to be safer. Dr. Shaw mentions this in Barbary, where he says they found no hedges, or mounds, or enclosures to retard or molest them. To this Deborah doubtless refers in Judges v, 6, " In the days of Jael, the high-ways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through by- ways," or " crooked ways," as in the margin. Bishop Pococke says that the Arab who conducted him to Je- rusalem took him by night, and not by the high road, but through the fields ; " and I observed," he remarks, " that he avoided, as much as he could, going near any village or encampment, and sometimes stood still, as I thought, to hearken." The same insecurity to travel- lers exists in modern times in Palestine when an}- dis- turbance of the government occurs. See Eoad.

Byzantine Recension, the text of the Greek N. T. in use at Constantinople after it became the metro- politan see of the Eastern empire. The readings of this recension are those which are most commonly found in the common printed Greek text, and are also most numerous in the existing manuscripts which cor- respond to it, a very considerable additional number of which have recentby been discovered and collated by Professor Scholz. The Byzantine text is found in the four Gospels of the Alexandrian manuscript ; it was the original from which the Sclavonic version was made, and was cited by Chrysostom and by Theophy- lact, bishop of Bulgaria. — Home, Introduction, pt. i, ch. ii, § 2. See Recension (of MSS.).
Bzovius (Bzowski), Abraham, a Polish Roman- ist divine, was born at Proczovic in 1567. He studied at Cracow, where he became a Dominican. He subse- quently taught philosophy at Milan, and theology at Bologna. On his return into Poland he became prior of the Dominicans at Cracow, and contributed greatly to the extension of the order. Pope Pius V called him to Rome, where he was employed on a continuation of the Annals of Baronius from A.D. 1198 to 1532; and he completed nine volumes (xiii to xxi), which were printed at Cologne, from 1616 to 1630, and at Rome in 1672. Among his other writings are Historia Ecclesi- astica ex Baronii annalibus historiis excerpta (Col. 1617, 3 vols, fol.) : — XL Sermones super Canticum Salre Re- gina (Venice, 1598) : — Sacrum Pancarpium {Sermons) : — De rebus gestis Summorum Pontifcum (Col. 1619 and 1622, 4to). He died at Rome, Jan. 31, 1637.— Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, vii, 959.
