Abbreviations

Names of biblical books, Apocrypha and Pseudepigraha, Josephus and Qum• ran are abbreviated according to the JBL system, with exception of the prefixed numeral (1Cor) and omitting italics and full stops. Philo's works are indicated with the abbreviations of the Loeb edition. For Rabbinic works see list below. In the transcription of Hebrew words and names, a simple Anglo-based phonetic system rendering Israeli pronunciation is followed. New Testament mss are mostly indicated with the sigla used and explained in Nestle-Aland (26th ed), except for non-Latin characters: Sinai ( = alef), Athos (=psi), Byzantine majority or Koine (=Gothic M). Works referred to by mere author name are commentaries on the Pauline passage under discussion.
