Synopsis

This book is written in Greek. A meticulous scholarly edition of Greek New Testament manuscripts, with clear, practical aims for readers. This nonfiction work presents a full collation of multiple codices, detailing how readings from the Codex Montfortii, Dublin Codex, and Lincoln College MS compare with Wetstein’s text. It explains the editors’ method, the challenges of typography, and their reasoning for printing without accents or breathings.

Readers will gain a window into how early manuscripts are studied, compared, and critiqued. The preface covers scope, methodology, and the editors’ commitment to accuracy, transparency, and reproducibility. It also offers reflections on the difficulties of minute textual work and the value of careful, measured scholarship.

  • Discussion of the relationship between multiple manuscripts and a standard text

  • Context on the limitations and challenges of minute textual criticism
