An Introduction to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament THE THEOLOGICAL EDUCATOR. EdiUd by tlit REV. W. ROBERTSON NICOLL, M.A., Editor of " The Expositor." PROFESSOR WARFIELD'S TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE NEW TESTAMENT HODDER AND STOUGHTON, 27, PATERNOSTER ROW. MDCCCLXXXVII. AN INTRODUCTION.. TO THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. BY niE REV. BENJAMIN B. WARFIELD, D.D., Professor of New Testament Criticism in the Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, U.S.A. HODDER AND STOUGHTON, 27, PATERNOSTER ROW. MDCCCLXXXVI. \All fights reset ved.} PKEFACE. r 1HIS little treatise purports to be a primer, and I -L a primer to the art of textual criticism rather than to the science. Its purpose will be served if the reader is prepared by it to exercise the art in the usual processes, and to enter upon the study of the science in such books as Dr. Hort's '' In- troduction," and Dr. Gregory's " Prolegomena " to Tischendorf's eighth edition. In such a primary treatise, and where no claim to originality is made, obligations to previous works can scarcely be acknow- ledged. The author hopes that his general confession of having made use of everything that he could lay his hands upon that served his purpose, will be deemed sufficient acknowledgment of the many debts he is conscious of, and would like, if occasion served, to confess in detail.

The Arabs appear to have brought cotton paper to the Western world about the eighth century. The oldest dated Arabic MSS. , on cotton paper come from the ninth century, e. g., the Leiden Gharibu ']-Hadith from 866. The earliest examples in European languages come from the countries which were most closely in contact with the Arabs, e. g., Sicily (1102. 1145, and the like). The oldest dated Greek MS., on cotton paper, is the Vienna Codex dated 1095 ; next we have a Euchologium (No. 973 of Gardthausen's Catalogus Codd Oro'corinn Sinaiticoruin), dated 1153 ; and by the middle of the thirteenth century they are somewhat numerous. The Lectioiiary referred to in the text is No. 191 of the lists (Scrivener, III., p. 292). An Asceticum (No. 468 of Gardthausen's Catalogus, just quoted), on cotton paper, is written in uncials of ilie tenlh or eleventh century.

The ago of the European Latin may be more accurately set from Prof. Sanday's investi- gations. He shows that it was certainly used by Novatian (fl. 251), and hints that it may be older than Tertullian (see Stvdia Bihlica, p. 245). Pag-e 70, last line. This exception may probably be deleted.

The History of Criticism 211 INTRODUCTORY. rr^HE word "text" properly denotes a literary -L work, conceived of as a mere thing, as a texture woven of words instead of threads. It designates neither, on the one side, the book which contains the text, nor, on the other side, the sense which the text conveys. It is not the matter of the discourse, nor the manner of it, whether logical, rhetorical, or grammatical. It is simply the web of words itself. It is with this understanding that the text of any work is concisely defined as the ipsissivui verba of that work. The word, which came into Middle English from the French where it stands as the descendant of the Latin word textum, retains in English the figurative sense only of its primitive, yet owes it to its origin that it describes a composition as a woven thing, as a curiously interwoven cloth or tissue of words. Once a part of the English language, it has grown with the growth of that tongue, and has acquired certain special usages. We usually need to speak of the exact words of an author only in contrast with something else, and thus " text " has come to designate a composition upon which a commentary has been written, so that it distinguishes the words commented on from the 1 2 TEXTUAL CRITICISM. comments that have been added. Thus we speak of the text of the Talmud as lost in the comment. And thus, too, by an extreme extension, we speak of the text of a sermon, meaning, not the ipsissima verba of the sermon, but the little piece of the original author on which the sermon professes to be a com- ment. By a somewhat similar extension we speak of texts of Scripture, meaning, not various editions of its ipsissima verba, but brief extracts from Scripture, as for example proof texts and the like ; —a usage which appears to have grown up under the conception that all developed theology is of the nature of a comment on Scripture. Such secondary senses of the word need not disturb us here. They are natural develop- ments out of the ground meaning, as applied to special cases. We are to use the word in its general and original sense, in which it designates the ipsissima verba, the woven web of words, which constitutes the concrete thing by which a book is made a work, but which has nothing directly to do with the sense, correctness, or the value of the work. There is an importan t distinction, however, which we should grasp at the outset, between the text of a document and the text of a work. A document can have but one text ; its ipsissima verba are its ipsissima verba, and there is nothing further to say about it. But a work may exist in several copies, each of which has its own ipsissima verba, which may, or may not, tally with one another. The text of any copy of Shakespeare that is placed in ray hands is plainly before me. But the text of Shakespeare is a different matter. No two copies of Shakespeare, —or now, since INTRODUCTOHY. ?, we have to reckon with the printijig press, we must rather say no two editions, —have precisely the same text. There are all kinds of causes that work differ- ences : badness of copy, carelessness of compositors, folly of editors, imperfection of evidence, frailty of huma.nity. We' know what the text of Karl Elze's Hamlet is. But what is the text of Hamlet ? We cannot choose any one edition, and say that it is the text of Hamlet ; it is one text of Hamlet, but not necessarily the text of Hamlet. We cannot choose one manuscript of Homer, and say that it is the text of Homer. It is a text of Homer, but the text of Homer may be something very different. We note, then, that the text of a document and the text of a work may be very different matters. The text of a document is the ipsisslma verba of that document, and is to be had by simply looking at it ; whatever stands actually written in it is its text. The text of a work, again, is the ipsissima verba of that woi'k, but it cannot be obtained by simply looking at it. We cannot look at the work, but only at the documents or " copies" that represent it ; and what stands written in them, individually or even collectively, may not lie the ipsissima verba of the work, —by exactly the amount, in each case, in which it is altered or corrupted from what the author intended to A\T.nte, is not the i])sissiina verba of the work. If, then, the text of a document or copy of any work is the ipsissima verba of that document or copy, the text of the Avork is what ought to be the ipsissima verba of all the documents or copies that profess to represent it, —it is the original, or, better still, the intended i]mssima verba of the 4 TEXTUAL CRITICISM. author. It may not lie in the document before us, or in any document. All existing documents, taken collectively, may fail to contain it. It may never have lain, perfect and pure, in any document. But if an element of ideality thus attaches to it, it is none the less a very real thing and a very legitimate object of search.

  • 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.

    Richard Simon Critical History of the Text of the New Testament New Testament Tools, Studies and Documents New Testament Tools, Studies, and Documents (NTTSD) combines two series, New Testament Tools and Studies (NTTS) and Studies and Documents (SD). The former was founded by Bruce M. Metzger in 1965 and edited by him until 1993, when Bart D. Ehrman joined him as co-editor. The latter series was founded by Kirsopp and Silva Lake in 1935, edited by them until the death of Kirsopp Lake in 1946, then briey by Silva Lake and Carsten Høeg (1955), followed by Jacob Geerlings (until 1969), by Irving Alan Sparks (until 1993), and nally by Eldon Jay Epp (until 2007). The new series will promote the publication of primary sources, reference tools, and critical studies that advance the understanding of the New Testament and other early Christian writings and writers into the fourth century. Emphases of the two predecessor series will be retained, including the textual history and transmission of the New Testament and related literature, relevant manuscripts in various languages, methodologies for research in early Christianity. The series will also publish a broader range of studies pertinent to early Christianity and its writings. Editors Bart D. Ehrman, Ph.D., James A.

  • Making Sense of the End of Mark Pastor Russ Reaves Immanuel Baptist Church, Greensboro, NC January 27, 2009
    Making Sense of the End of Mark Pastor Russ Reaves Immanuel Baptist Church, Greensboro, NC January 27, 2009 Anyone who has ever read the Gospel of Mark carefully has likely noticed that most Bibles contain a footnote, a marginal note, or some other device or feature to indicate that there are questions about the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20. Almost every modern English version does in some way. Following are some examples of how this is done: • A bracketed heading before verses 9-20 which states, “The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20.” 1 • A footnote containing explanations similar to the following: “Some of the earliest manuscripts (or “mss.”) do not contain verses (or “vv.”) 9-20.” 2 • A footnote that reads, “Verses 9 through 20 are not found in the most ancient manuscripts, but may be considered an appendix giving additional facts.” 3 • A heading before verses 9-20 which reads, “An Ancient Appendix” or something similar. 4 • A footnote that offers a more detailed description of the situation, such as the following or similar: “Vv. (verses) 9-20 are bracketed in NU (an abbreviation for the Greek text known as Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament and United Bible Societies Greek New Testament ) as not original. They are lacking in Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus (two Greek manuscripts dating to the fourth century), although nearly all other mss. (manuscripts) of Mark contain them.” 5 • Bracketing around verses 9-20, with an explanatory notation in the footnotes stating, “Mark 16:9-20 [the portion in brackets] is contained only in later manuscripts,” or similar.

  • 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.
