A 'missing link' ms with the text actually added to its margin, dated sufficiently early, would be powerful evidence.<br /><br />OTOH, some texts in question, like the Johannine Comma, were obviously not added to the text of one ms from the margin of another, but had a mutual common source in the text of a versional ms.Daniel Bucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-16560023463642730222009-10-01T08:04:45.178+01:002009-10-01T08:04:45.178+01:00I think there are some, but they are not normally ...I think there are some, but they are not normally noted, when they are obvious errors, like your example. <br /><br />On the other hand there are quite some variants that *possibly* may be explained as a marginal comment that slipped into the text, but where it is not so obvious.
