I'm still waiting for my rep to get back to me about the dictionary, but
here is what he told me about the apparatus:
"I spoke with our New Testament editor who did confirm, that yes, there
is a "new" critical apparatus for this edition of Westcott/Hort.
"The problem lies with the word "significant". My editor said that a
better choice of words would have been: "virtually all differences of
any significance at all, save for spelling/stylistic differences." He
said there is indeed a new critical apparatus, but only a relatively few
minor editorial decisions actually had to be made. This information
regarding the nature of the apparatus and the criteria for materials
included therein will be included in the Introduction. In brief--they
included virutally EVERY difference, except for the minor
spelling/stylistic differences which do not affect the meaning.
"For example, Matthew 19:22--Westcott Hort places the word [touton] in
brackets. In the apparatus, it is noted that Nestle-Aland and MT omit
this word. A quick glance at the Nestle-Aland shows that not only do
they omit touton, there is no note in their apparatus about the
omission.
"While the Nestle-Aland apparatus includes the citations of actual texts
upon which they based their decisions, this Westcott Hort edition
includes a comparison of Nestle-Aland and MT to the WH text. The
original Westcott Hort footnotes are also still included--they are cited
simply as WH or as {WH}. Also, the Old Testament citations are still
included as well, now they are at the bottom of the page."
Once he lets me know where the dictionary is coming from, I will forward
that information as well. I suspect it will be either Strongs or an
abridged version of Thayers, both of which are public domain and of
limited value (OK, I'm being nice).
HTH,
James
