Novum Testamentum Graecum Editio Critica Maior, Band IV/4

The Editio Critica Maior of the New Testament exhibits the history of the Greek text through its first millennium as documented in manuscripts from the second century onward. It provides scholars engaged in the tasks of exegesis and textual criticism with all the relevant materials found in Greek manuscripts, patristic citations, and the versions. The evidence cited includes many textually significant manuscripts that have hitherto been either slightly or completely ignored. This now opens the way for a new understanding of the history of the text.

Main features:

- the entire text has been edited on a new basis

- alternative readings are marked where the transmission of the primary line text is problematic

- an overview of all the textual variants is located immediately below the primary text line

Supplements for each instalment provide:

- documentation for patristic citations

- detailed notes on versional readings

- further material for special studies
