Juan Hernández, Jr., "The Creation of a Fourth-Century
Witness to the Andreas Text-Type: A Misreading in the Apocalypse's Textual
History," New Testament Studies 60
(2014), 106 – 120.
Abstract: "The publication of Josef Schmid's landmark work on
the textual history of the Apocalypse seemingly established the Andreas Text
Type as a fourth-century product. The primary evidence for Schmid's claim came
from the fourth-century corrections of the Apocalypse in Codex Sinaiticus,
corrections which bore a close resemblance to the Andreas text of the
Apocalypse. Schmid's reconstruction, however, is flawed. The fourth-century
corrections he identified are actually from the seventh-century. The data
supporting a fourth-century Andreas text do not exist. Schmid's widely
influential error appears to have been based on a misreading of Milne and
Skeat's "Scribes and Correctors of the Codex Sinaiticus."
