That's good to know.  Thanks.  The advantage of Kells or Lindisfarne
over Nestle-Aland though is that the former are actual manuscripts, one
gets to see how the tables were used and viewed by folks who used
them--for example check out any section of these gospels books and
you'll find each pericope marked with the canon table number and the
corresponding passages in the other gospels.  Nestle-Aland, at least I
don't believe (mine is at the office at the moment), do more than
reproduce the letter and the canons, I don't think they show actual
manuscript pages nor reproduce the canon numbers in the text.  Anyway,
it was just a thought.
