Novum Testamentum Graecum, Editio Critica Maior (Ecm) III: Acts of the Apostles, Complete Set (4 Vols) (Hardcover)

The Editio Critica Maior provides the full range of resources necessary for scholarly research in establishing the text and reconstructing the history of the New Testament text during its first thousand years.Resources include: all the variants found in the selected Greek manuscripts and in citations by the Greek Fathers, the evidence of the four most important early versions (Latin, Coptic, Syriac, and Ethiopic) where they witness to variants in the Greek text, the evidence of other versions (Armenian, Georgian, and Old Church Slavonic) where they witness to variants in the Greek text and to the extent they are available in editions.The text of the present edition has been established afresh on the basis of these resources.The Editio Critica Maior of the Acts of the Apostles is available in four volumes: The first volume (Volume III/1.1), Text, contains the Greek text of chapters 1-14 along with a clearly structured, extensive text-critical apparatus.The second volume (Volume III/1.2) Text, contains the Greek text of chapters 15-28 along with a clearly structured, extensive text-critical apparatus.The third volume (Volume III/2) Supplementary Material, lists all relevant New Testament manuscripts with descriptions of their textual character in light of the total body of evidence. The manuscripts and manuscript groups are arranged by their role in the development of the text, providing readers with a broader perspective on text-critical issues and promoting greater clarity about how decisions on variant readings are made.The fourth volume (Volume III/3), Studies, contains a section called "Text-Critical Commentary" that discusses those passages where difficulties are found in the textual tradition. Additional studies in this volume address various aspects of the manuscript and linguistic traditions associated with the text of the Acts of the Apostles.The volume is edited by Holger Strutwolf, Georg Gäbel, Annette Hüffmeier, Gerd Mink, and Klaus Wachtel.
