In Stichometry and Scripture, J.
Rendel Harris explores how line counts and margins shaped early New Testament transmission. The book investigates how ancient practices of counting verses and marking margins influenced the way texts were copied, divided, and interpreted across centuries. This edition surveys methods of stichometry, key witnesses like Euthalius, and the possible Cesarean library connections. It ties manuscript habits to broader questions about the text of Paul and the Catholic Epistles, offering a structured approach to reading how early copies were produced and circulated.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the early development of methods used to record the length of ancient literary works in order to facilitate their measurement and comparison, a practice known as Stichometry. The author demonstrates that the standard unit of measurement employed was a line of 16 syllables, approximately equivalent to the average length of a Homeric hexameter. The book traces the evolution of Stichometry from its origins in meticulously counting the lines of poetry and prose to its use as a tool for comparing and cataloging literary works. As a result, this book sheds light on the processes of literary production and dissemination in the ancient world, providing valuable insights into the physical form and transmission of texts.
