Description:
The Editio Critica Maior provides the full range of resources necessary for scholarly research in establishing the text and reconstructing the history of the New Testament text during its first thousand years.
Resources include:
- all the variants found in the selected Greek manuscripts and in citations by the Greek Fathers,
- the evidence of the three most important early versions (Latin, Coptic, and Syriac) where they witness to variants in the Greek text,
- the evidence of other versions (Armenian, Georgian, Old Church Slavonic, and Ethiopic) where they witness to variants in the Greek text and to the extent they are available in editions.
The text of the present edition has been established afresh on the basis of these resources.
The Editio Critica Maior of Revelation is available in four volumes. This first volume (Volume VI/1), Text, contains the Greek text along with a clearly structured, extensive text-critical apparatus.
