Greg Paulson has recorded a short video on YouTube giving an overview of the new four-volume (!) Editio Critica Maior edition of Revelation. One whole volume is dedicated to punctuation and “textual structure.”
Some highlights:
- The textual commentary is the longest yet
- 84 changes to the initial text; 106 split lines; 95 changes in orthography
- The edition gives a list of singular readings
- There is a new punctuation apparatus with paratextual data too
- Nomina sacra are marked in the main text (I wonder how these were decided on)
- This is the first ECM completed outside Münster
Congratulations to the team!
Has the ECM on John really stalled out as is rumored? Is it dead for now?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it will be honest at Rev 5:9?
ReplyDeleteIn the Video at 1:39 one can see 5:9 ECM = τω Θεω ημας

Just wondering whether we’ll be having anything on the late Keith Elliott?
ReplyDeleteSorry - was from me.
DeleteI am really surprised that they have omitted οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔζησαν ἄχρι τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἔτη in Rev 20:5 when its omission in part of the tradition is easily explained as a haplography (see Rev 20:4). Why on earth such a decision?
