Rethinking the Western Non-Interpolations: a Case for Luke Re-Editing His Gospel
Rethinking the Western Non-interpolations: A Case For Luke Re-editing His Gospel by Giuseppe Capuana BA (Mus), GradDipEd, BTheol (Hons) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy University of Divinity 2018 Abstract This thesis presents a new paradigm for understanding the Western non-interpolations. It argues that when Luke originally wrote his Gospel it did not contain 22:19b–20; 24:3b, 6a, 12, 36b, 40, 51b and 52a. However, at a later time, around the time Luke wrote Acts, he returned to his Gospel creating a second edition which contained these readings. My thesis makes the case that the paradigm of scribal interpolation is problematic. Working under this paradigm the results of external and internal evidence appear conflicting and scholars are generally forced to give greater preference to one set of evidence over the other. However, a balanced weighting of the external and internal evidence points us towards the notion that Luke was responsible for both the absence and the inclusion of 22:19b–20; 24:3b, 6a, 12, 36b, 40, 51b and 52a. Chapter one introduces the Western non-interpolations. It also makes the case that the quest for the original text of Luke’s Gospel should not be abandoned. Chapter two is on the history, theory and methodology of the Western non-interpolations. It begins with an overview of the text-critical scholarship emerging during the nineteenth century, particularly the influence of Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort. It also covers the period after Westcott and Hort to the present. -
THE MUTILATION of MARK 16:9-20 – FLOYD NOLEN JONES, Th.D., Ph.D
THE MUTILATION OF MARK 16:9-20 – FLOYD NOLEN JONES, Th.D., Ph.D. 9Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. 12After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 13And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them. 14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. -
Digital Palimpsests: Mark in Trinity College Cambridge MS. O.9.27
Open Theology 2019; 5: 107–115 Digital Humanities in Biblical Studies and Theology Dan Batovici* Digital Palimpsests: Mark in Trinity College Cambridge MS. O.9.27 https://doi.org/10.1515/opth-2019-0008 Received April 14, 2019; accepted May 20, 2019 Abstract: The O.9.27 manuscript of Trinity College Cambridge is a minuscule manuscript of Hesiod’s Opera et Dies. In a 2001 PhD thesis on Greek palimpsests in Cambridge by Natalie Tchernetska, this manuscript is described to contain two distinct lower scripts, one of which identified as a New Testament text. The author read four lines and a partial fifth of the one-leaf palimpsest that contain Mark 1:44, which is remarkable considering that the washing made the lower script virtually the same colour as the page. This note re-examines the Markan lower script in O.9.27 and offers an account of the use of image processing software for the purpose to uncover more text in a difficult palimpsest, a method useful when MSI is not available. Keywords: Palimpsest; Gospel of Mark; lectionary 1 Introduction: a difficult palimpsest Trinity College Cambridge MS. O.9.27 is a Greek minuscule codex with Hesiod’s Opera et Dies 1–760.1 It was donated to Trinity College by Roger Gale in 1738.2 In the bottom margin of folio 1r there is a note ascribing the codex as having belonged to the famous collection of Cardinal Domenico Grimani (1461–1523).3 In a PhD thesis focused on the Greek palimpsests hosted in various libraries in Cambridge, Natalie Tchernetska included the presentation of two distinct lower scripts in Trinity College Cambridge MS. -

The Transmission of a Gospel Story
© Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction: Loose Texts, Loose Women Some 1,700 years ago, the anonymous author of the third- century church order the Didascalia apostolorum reminded his audience of an episode involv- ing Jesus and a woman accused of adultery. In this story, as now known from the Gospel of John, scribes and Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery before Jesus, asking him to make a decision about her and the law; should she be stoned as the law commands? Instead of offering an immediate reply, Jesus stoops and writes on the ground. Finally, he answers, “Let the one without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” They then go away, leaving Jesus alone with the woman. Jesus asks her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She replies, “No one, Lord,” to which he responds, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more” (John 7:53–8:11, NRSV). First written in Greek but preserved in Syriac and Latin, theDidascalia ’s discussion of this story offers the earliest explicit reference in the Christian tradition to an episode involving Jesus and a woman caught in adultery, now known to scholars as the pericope adulterae. Citing a version somewhat differ- ent from what is printed in the Gospel of John as it appears in modern editions of the New Testament (the writer speaks of “elders” rather than “scribes and Pharisees,” for example), the Didascalia exhorts local Syrian bishops to forgive repentant sinners and welcome them back into the church. -

A Neglected Text Critical Siglum in Codex Vaticanus and Its Import For
A Neglected Text-Critical Siglum in Codex Vaticanus and Its Import for the Matthean Text1 Charles E. Hill, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando Abstract: This paper concerns a little-known text-criticalsiglum used by the scribes of Codex Vaticanus 1209. It is a short, s-shaped sign placed within the text and repeated in the margin, beneath which the scribe (in the vast majority of the cases in which it is used) wrote an alternative reading. Where it is used as such, as in the Gospel of Mat- thew, it almost certainly implies the use of a second exemplar. This paper introduces the siglum and its use in Vaticanus (and possibly elsewhere), catalogues its New Testament occurrences, and explores what these readings might tell us about the assumed second exemplar of Matthew. Finally, it offers recommendations for future critical editions of the text of Matthew. 1. Text-Critical Sigla Used by the Scribes and Correctors of B The scribes and correctors of Codex Vaticanus (B[03]; Vat.gr. 1209) used a number of proce- dures for perfecting the text of the codex,2 some of which involved the use of specialized sigla. For restoring (usually short) haplographies, the scribes sometimes simply added the omitted text in the margin or between the lines with no accompanying siglum. More often, to mark short omissions and their restorations the scribes or correctors used the dotted obelus (÷), or obelos periestigmene, also known as lemniskos. Mainly for longer restorations, the scribes used the ancorae signs , one placed in the side margin near the omission, its partner then placed in the top or bottom margin, followed by the restored text (see Figure 1).3 1 An early version of this paper was read at the 2018 meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature.
