As they were discussing the development of the Greek New Testament text, and noting some dissatisfaction with the then-current state of New Testament textual criticism, the professor referred to something he had previously written that changed the course of the young seminarian’s life: “We must have a critical history of transmission. Some new angle, some novel experiment must be tried.” The discussion regarding that comment then set in motion what has become a lifetime pursuit of digging for the truth. Maurice A. Robinson received his undergraduate degree in English and Secondary Education from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. Being called into the ministry, he attended Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, where he obtained his Master of Divinity degree. That is when he had the privilege noted above of studying one-on-one with noted textual critic Kenneth W. Clark at Duke University. These studies whetted his appetite for scholarly endeavors, leading him to continue into the Master of Theology program at Southeastern, and the Doctor of Philosophy program at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Dr. Robinson has been engaged in various forms of teaching and research ministry for over thirty years. He currently is Senior Professor of New Testament and Greek at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he has served for the past 22 years. He has presented numerous papers in various venues, with many of these being published, and has spoken frequently at various symposiums and seminars on topics that deal with New Testament textual criticism. Robinson is best known for his defense of the Byzantine-priority theory of New Testament textual criticism. As he has stated, that position evaluates internal and external evidence in the light of transmissional probabilities. This approach emphasizes the effect of scribal habits in preserving, altering, or otherwise corrupting the text, the recognition of transmissional development leading to family and texttype groupings, and the ongoing maintenance of the text in its general integrity as demonstrated within our critical apparatuses. The overriding principle is that textual criticism without a history of transmission is impossible. To achieve this end, all readings in sequence need to be accounted for within a transmissional history, and no reading can be considered in isolation as a ‘variant unit’ unrelated to the rest of the text. 1 His various papers and presentations both support his theoretical position as well as critique and oppose current critical views regarding New Testament text-critical praxis. A tangible result of his text-critical theory is his co-edited edition of The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2005. A current major research project involves the collation of all available Greek manuscripts and lectionaries in relation to the Pericope Adulterae interrelationships among those manuscripts, with a goal of demonstrating an archetypal form of that pericope, detailing its further (Jnrelationship 7:53-8:11), to thelisting Gospel all of variants, John. with the intent of defining and establishing the textual In addition to these accomplishments, Robinson has also been a pioneer in the area of computerized study of the Greek New Testament. In this regard, beginning in the mid-1980’s, he created electronic editions of a number of Greek New Testament texts, with grammatical lemmatization and parsing data. These were originally prepared for the Online Bible software program, but have also been incorporated into various major Bible software programs (including Bibleworks), with raw ASCII/DOS versions of these texts in CCAT-based format also available freely from dozens of internet web sites worldwide. This book consists of various essays gathered in honor of Dr. Robinson’s sixty-sixth birthday. The authors share his scholarship by being included in this work. his esteem for the Biblical text and recognize his unique contributions to the field and have chosen to recognize Mark Billington --- Peter Streitenberger 1 Maurice Robinson, “Appendix: The Case for Byzantine Priority,” in The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Text- form 2005, by Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont (Southborough, MA: Chilton Book Publishing, 2005), 544. 6 20140318 Festschrift.indb 6 18.03.2014 21:25:58 A MODEST EXPLANATION FOR THE LAYMAN OF IDEAS RELATED TO DETERMING THE TEXT OF THE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT by Timothy Friberg Abstract There are almost 6,000 partial or complete manuscripts of the Greek New Testament extant. It is possible, by the application of certain principles outlined in this essay, to weed out errors that crept into the manuscripts during the process of copying and thus to reconstruct a text that is identical to — or at least very close to — the original text. This resulting text is called the Byzantine Textform, which we attempt to show is superior to the text arrived at by the other main approach to textual criticism, i.e., the eclectic approach, which seems to be an arbitrary “pick and choose” process. The Byzantine Textform has been dominant through the centuries of the church and, we believe, deserves that dominant position today, not because it is the result of some research, though extensive research supports it, but because it has always been there with historical and transmissional integrity in its favor. Note: few of the following thoughts are original to the writer. He is only trying to facilitate for nonspecialists a wider understanding of the thoughts of others, largely through simplification and bibliography.restatement. Technical terms italicized in the text are defined in the glossary at the end of the paper. All quotes not identified in the text are taken from the writings of Maurice Robinson, as noted in the Introduction: on paper, ink and writing styles Things weren’t always as easy as they are now. This is especially true in the area of written communication: personal computers (1970s), typewriters (from 1874), indeed even printing presses with movable type (1440s) just did not exist. Documents were written by hand, whether personal letters and notations or a time. official decrees. If there was a need for multiple copies, additional handmade copies were made one at At the time of the writing of the individual books of the New Testament, the most common form of “paper” used was papyrus sheets (from about 2400 BC), frequently put together into longer rolled scrolls. Ink was made of different substances, some as common as lampblack; and pens were made of sharpened reeds and, later, quills. Animal skins (vellum, parchment), properly prepared, were also used as writing material (from as early as 1468 BC).

  • Text of the Gospel of Mark: Lake Revisited
    BABELAO 3 (2014), p. 145-169 + Appendix, p. 171-289 © ABELAO (Belgium) The « Caesarean » Text of the Gospel of Mark: Lake Revisited By Didier Lafleur IRHT - Paris n the field of history and practice of New Testament textual criticism, two major stages were initiated during the last cen- tury by Kirsopp Lake. The first of these was the publication, Iin 19 02, of a survey concerning Codex 1 of the Gospels and its Allies, in the Texts and Studies series (7:3). The second stage was the pub- lication, in 1928, with Robert P. Blake and Silva New, of « The Caesarean Text of the Gospel of Mark » in the Harvard Theological Review (21:4). For the first time, the authors emphasized the exist- ence of such text on the basis of three major pieces of evidence: the Greek manuscripts, the patristic witnesses and the Oriental versions. Since then, the question of the « Caesarean » text-type has been a very disputed matter. It still remains an important tex- tual issue.1 1 This paper was first presented during the Society of Biblical Literature Annual Meeting 2012, Chicago, November 18. 146 D. LAFLEUR Our plan is not to discuss here about the « Caesarean » text and its subsequent developments, but to mainly focus the genesis of Lake’s publication. The survey of his preliminary works will help us to better consider, after a short account of Lake’s biobibliography, the way he followed until the 1928 « Caesarean Text of the Gospel of Mark » and which methodology he used. We will then emphasize one of the three pieces of evidence quot- ed by the authors, the evidence of the Greek manuscripts as de- scribed in their tables of variants.

  • Textus Receptus
    ENGLISH SUMMARY Chapter I. The Discovery of Family 13 XVIth–XVIIth cent.: A Settled Text, the “Textus Receptus” As the history of the printed text of the Greek New Testament starts at the beginning of the XVIth century, and as the rst mention of a Family 13 witness dates back to the end of the XVIIth century, we provide here, as an introduction, some of the high points of those two centuries. Considering the rst printed editions of the Bible, it is noteworthy to keep in mind the Alcalà Polyglot (or Complutensian), and the Antwerp, Paris and London Polyglots. It seems that none of the known Family 13 members were ever used by those editors and we could suggest a similar judgment for the editions published by Simon de Colines and Henri and Robert Estienne. The “Textus Receptus”, as printed in the Elzeviers’ 1624 edition, is rmly settled in the Greek New Testament editions of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. 1700–1788: The First Witnesses (Minuscules 13, 69, 124) The rst Family 13 witness to be mentioned, in a printed catalogue of Greek manuscripts, was min. 124 (Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbiblio- thek, Theol. gr. 188), in 1670, by Pierre Lambeck of Hamburg. The manuscript is briey described, without textual features, and remains for the next few decades in the shadow of Lambeck’s physical description. Around the same date, possibly before then, another Family 13 manuscript was well-known, studied and celebrated for its peculiar readings: min. 69 (Leicester, The Record O ce for Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland, 6 D 32/1).

  • Textual Affinities of Papyrus Bodmer Xiv (P75)
    TEXTUAL AFFINITIES OF PAPYRUS BODMER XIV (P75) by JOHN E. HARTLEY MR. HARTLEY is a graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky, where he studied under Dr. J. Harold Greenlee, a distinguished authority on New Testament textual criticism. We are glad to publish here an article based on his B.O. thesis which he prepared under Dr. Greenlee's direction. Trn. Bodmer Library has published, among other things, the text of a papyrus codex containing the Gospel of Luke and John, with an introduction and facsimiles. 1 This papyrus is designated Papyrus Bodmer XIV for Luke and Papyrus Bodmer XV for John. Professor Kurt Aland of Munster has assigned this codex the official siglum P75. Papyrus Bodmer XIV is the oldest extant copy of Luke; it is dated about 200 A.D.2 The text of Luke 8: 5-28; 10: 8-17: 29, and 22: 37-24: 53 is preserved almost entirely, along with fragments of Luke 3: 18-22; 3: 33-4: 2; 4: 34-5: 10. The purpose of the present article is to summarize the results of a Bachelor of Divinity thesisa in which the te~t of Papyrus Bodmer XIV was examined in order to determine its textual affinities. The first step in analyzing the textual affinities of Bodmer XIV was to collate it against the Textus Receptus. Supporting evidence for the variants against the Textus Receptus was then gathered from the :textual apparatuses of Nestle,4 Souter,5 Merk,6 von 1 For a concise description of the salient features of p75 see Bruce M.

  • Pericope Adulterae 1/20
    András Handl: Tertullianus on the Pericope Adulterae 1/20 TERTULLIANUS ON THE PERICOPE ADULTERAE (JOHN 7,53–8,11) Abstract Although Terullianus is deeply engaged in discussions on Christian marriage, adultery, and on the remission of (grave) sins, he never addressed the story of the woman caught in adultery known today from the Gospel of John. This essay argues that his silence cannot be explained by suppression because of the explosive nature of the story in relation to penitential discipline and to his own views and arguments. Rather, it proposes that the pericope adulterae was unknown in Carthage at his time. 1. Introduction The story of the woman caught in adultery in the Gospel of John (7,53–8,11) represents one of the most mysterious New Testament passages. Omitted in early manuscripts, the circulation and dissemination of the pericope adulterae (henceforth the PA) is controversially discussed. Already C. R. Gregory (1846–1917) claimed that the PA had been “very often read, and especially at a very early time.”1 H. Riesenfeld (1913–2008) assessed that the Latin translation of the passage ”appears sporadically before the Vulgate and then in the entire Vulgate tradition.”2 This judgement has been criticised by T. O'Loughlin. Based on the number of extant Vetus Latina fragments, he came to the conclusion that the PA “was more likely [included] than not to have been present [in the Vetus Latina] prior to the dominance of the Vulgate.”3 According to J. W. Knust, “the pericope was present only in a few copies of John in the early second century―which seems to be a likely conclusion given the patristic and manuscript evidence.”4 In a statement―often considered as the actual communis opinio―, B.
