Two points in response:
1) Maurice Robinson several months ago pointed out the errors in the
book
on the TC
list and I do not think they should be considered minor in such a work
as
this; and
2) would such mistakes be considered "minor errors" if someone from the
Majority/Byzantine text camp came out with a similar work?
