The 1909 Facsimile Edition of Codex Boernerianus
A Brief Introduction to This Digital Reproduction of Codex Boernerianus presented by: Mr. Gary S. Dykes 2007 [note: the images in this PDF file are compressed via the PDF process, and display not the original CD quality] image 090 - coded For years I desired a GOOD copy of codex 012. All I possessed was a microfiche copy, and reading many of the Latin portions in that microfiche was frustrating. 35mm film copies of the manuscript leave much to be desired, as they were poor reproductions of the facsimile edition. For years I tried to acquire a better copy. Whenever I saw a copy of the 1909 facsimile edition offered for sale, I attempted to purchase it (them) but was always too late (the sales occurred in Europe). Finally, in 2007, I found an excellent copy of the 1909 edition. One which was in pristine condition; no marks, no tears, no missing pages, cover original and fully intact! Not only this, but the printing was of excellent quality. Truly a copy worthy of preservation for all students, for now and future generations. Though I created this digital copy for my own personal use and work on I Corinthians, I realized that others could certainly use a copy. This particular facsimile edition had lain in a library (a very non- Christian institution); since 1910, the volume was checked out only once. It lay unused. Thus it remained in fine condition. Today it is now being shared with all, via the coöperation of the CSNTM website! As concerns the published volume: it was a very fine production, the color reproduction reflects some of the best I have ever seen for a facsimile edition. -

Regalitatea Lui Dumnezeu N Viziunea Autorilor Psalmilor
[Plērōma anul IX nr. 1 (2007) 5-34] IUNIA ŞI NIMFA – AVATARURILE UNOR IDENTITĂŢI FEMININE ÎN MANUSCRISELE GRECEŞTI, RESPECTIV TRADUCERILE ROMÂNEŞTI ALE NOULUI TESTAMENT prep. univ. drd. Emanuel Conţac Abstract The process of copying and translating the New Testament across the ages is sometimes bound to be affected by certain cultural predispositions of the scribes. Two passages where such tendencies can be identified are Romans 16:7 and Colossians 4:15, where two feminine names (Junia and Nympha, respectively) are understood as male names. The supposedly male identities are found in numerous manuscripts of the NT and in the vast majority of the Romanian NT translations, as shown by the present study. Introducere Odată cu ascensiunea studiilor feministe şi de gen, problematica identităţii feminine a început să facă obiectul unor cercetări intense în mai toate disciplinele umaniste sau înrudite cu acestea. Evident, nici domeniul studiilor biblice (Biblical Studies) nu a rămas neinfluenţat de noile tendinţe. Gama abordărilor este impresionantă, de la cele radicale, care denunţă vehement teologia tradiţională ca pe o emanaţie a culturii patriarhale şi misogine, propunând transformarea din temelii a establishmentului religios, 6 Emanuel Conţac până la cele care caută mai degrabă o reajustare a discursului teologic contemporan al Bisericii în lumina noilor cercetări, fără a-şi fi propus o revoluţionare a praxisului religios în sine. Dintre chestiunile puse pe tapet în perioada ultimelor decenii se detaşează cea privitoare la statutul femeilor în creştinismul timpuriu. Studii feministe recente afirmă ritos că, în zorii creştinismului, femeile slujeau alături de bărbaţi în funcţia de prezbiter, ba chiar şi de episcop.1 Alţi cercetători merg mai departe, considerând că a existat chiar şi o femeie printre apostoli – Iunia, menţionată în Epistola apostolului Pavel către Romani, 16:7. -

The Reliability of New Testament Manuscripts
The Reliability of New Testament Manuscripts Joseph Holden, PhD Norman Geisler, PhD Copyright Joseph Holden and Norman Geisler, 2012. All Rights Reserved. In this essay, we will survey the manuscripts of the New Testament, including the transmission process and the individual manuscripts produced by that process. We will also consider objections to the reliability of the New Testament. Special attention will be given to this point due to the recent publications that advocate there are errors in the New Testament, especially as put forth by Bart Ehrman. We will begin with a look at the transmission process since it has come under recent attack. The Transmission of the New Testament Function of Scribes and Scriptorium In the age of classical antiquity, scribes served an important function in the production of literary and non-literary works. Scribes were employed within Mesopotamia, Egypt, Palestine, and the Greco-Roman Empire. Professional scribes, who were trained craftsman, were commonly employed in the commercial book trade or for a library or government post. Many of these professional copyists had expertise in using fine book-hand or calligraphy. Still other scribes were amateur copyists or even educated slaves. Customarily, scribes were paid not only by the length of the text, but also by the type of hand used which affected the quality of the script. Thus, the work of professional scribes demanded higher pay but also produced higher quality work, which became very important in the explicability of historical texts. Scribes were responsible for copying literary and non-literary works including books, petitions, receipts, letters, and deeds. -

TEXT-TYPES? Characteristics / Readings, Unique to Their Location, Resulting in Localized Text-Types Or Textual Families

A New Descriptive Inventory of Bentley's Unfinished New Testament Project
TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism 25 (2020): 111–128 A New Descriptive Inventory of Bentley’s Unfinished New Testament Project* An-Ting Yi, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Jan Krans, Protestantse Theologische Universiteit, Amsterdam Bert Jan Lietaert Peerbolte, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam One of Eldon J. Epp’s areas of expertise is the scholarly history of New Testament textual criticism. He offers an excellent overview of its different stages, including Bentley’s un- finished New Testament project. Yet, many aspects can be refined by studying the -ma terials left by Bentley, preserved at Wren Library of Trinity College (TCL), Cambridge. This contribution offers an up-to-date descriptive inventory of all the remaining archive entries, containing bibliographical information, precise descriptions, relevant second- ary literature, and parts of the reception history. 1. Introduction1 One of Eldon J. Epp’s lifelong interests is the history of New Testament textual scholarship. No- tably his two articles in The New Cambridge History of the Bible not only distinguish periods for the history of the printed Greek New Testament text, but they also become a standard reference for those who want to delve into this issue.2 In these contributions he draws an encompassing picture of the historical developments of text-critical methods of the New Testament, begin- ning from Erasmus until the present day. A key figure contributing to these developments is the renowned eighteenth-century Cambridge classical scholar Richard Bentley (1662–1742). In fact, Epp already mentioned Bentley’s name and his famous Proposals for Printing of 1720 in a 1976 article when tracing the history of the “critical canons” of the New Testament text.3 Since * Our thanks first go to the staff of Wren Library of Trinity College, who generously helped us during our stay in Cambridge, November 2018. -

Scribal Habits in Selected New Testament Manuscripts, Including Those with Surviving Exemplars
SCRIBAL HABITS IN SELECTED NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPTS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SURVIVING EXEMPLARS by ALAN TAYLOR FARNES A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing Department of Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract In the first chapter of this work, I provide an introduction to the current discussion of scribal habits. In Chapter Two, I discuss Abschriften—or manuscripts with extant known exemplars—, their history in textual criticism, and how they can be used to elucidate the discussion of scribal habits. I also present a methodology for determining if a manuscript is an Abschrift. In Chapter Three, I analyze P127, which is not an Abschrift, in order that we may become familiar with determining scribal habits by singular readings. Chapters Four through Six present the scribal habits of selected proposed manuscript pairs: 0319 and 0320 as direct copies of 06 (with their Latin counterparts VL76 and VL83 as direct copies of VL75), 205 as a direct copy of 2886, and 821 as a direct copy of 0141. -
