Reviews

This is a text-critical edition of the gospel of John that reflects the recension of the gospel in the Byzantine tradition. Taking one particular MS as its ‘base text’ (miniscule 35) the edition then compares some seventy other witnesses. The differences between this text and that of Nestle-Aland are also noted. This is a painstaking work of scholarship coming out of the Centre for Editing Texts in Religion (now the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing) at the University of Birmingham. It is a highly specialised work, but for those interested in the history of the Byzantine textual tradition, or indeed the history of Byzantine Christianity more generally, obviously a very important one.
