TCG 2005 - An Online Textual Commentary on the Greek Gospels
http://www-user.uni-bremen.de/~wie/TCG/index.html
is out.
This third edition of the commentary discusses the 1000 most important
textual variants of the Gospels, plus about 500 minor ones, on about
2200 pages.
Changes to the 2nd edition:
- The major addition: A commentary about all remaining variants (ca.
300) where WH and NA27 disagree, which are not already noted in the main
commentary. These are all "minor" variants, where the meaning is
(basically) the same. Now all those instances have been added in extra
files for each Gospel.
- Due to popular request I have changed the rather unusual designation
BGT into NA27.
- I have also added a short comment about the rating of each variant
unit at the bottom of the discussion to make clear what I mean, e.g.
"Rating: 2 (= NA clearly original)".
- I have added for every variant the lacunae of the important MSS.
- I have added a file about the fragmentary uncials, which are not very
well known, but deserve to be noted and studied. The following are
outstanding: 083, 085 and 0274.
- I have put up a top-5, a top-20 and a top-50 list of variants. Of
these I consider the top-20 the most important. I think this is the list
on which most would agree.
- The results from Amy Anderson's new book on 1582 in Mt ("The Textual
Tradition of the Gospels - Family 1 in Matthew" Brill, 2004) have been
worked in.
- The quotations of the Gospel of John by Origen have been incorporated
using Ehrman's edition ("The text of the fourth Gospel in the writings
of Origen", 1992).
- All readings of 2427 (Mark) have been checked from the digital
facsimile.
- The readings of the Gothic version have been added from the Wulfila
project.
- The intro section of the Pericope de Adultera file has been completely
reworked and enlarged (many early quotations added).
- The first two editions are now also online as zipped archives for
reference purposes.
- Numerous minor changes throughout.
Added variants in the main commentary:
Mt 9:4, 19:24c, 20:17b, 20:23a, 22:16, 26:20
Mk 1:4, 12:28, 14:7
Lk 1:76, 17:12, 21:11, 21:24, 23:43
Jo 1:15, 19:38, 21:4, 21:18
I appreciate all comments and literature references.
Best wishes
Wieland
