Von Soden's Greek New Testament [Part 1, Introduction & Gospels]: Comprehensive Critical Edition with Variants from Hundreds of Greek Manuscripts and

A high-quality reprint of Von Soden's monumental critical edition of the Greek New Testament.

This volume contains the four Gospels and an Introduction. The rest of the NT (Acts-Revelation) is available in a separate volume.

To date, this is the most detailed and comprehensive critical edition which covers the entire New Testament.

The Introduction is in German, but the text is in Greek.

Features:

1. A critical Greek text, prepared by Von Soden. Includes full punctuation (accents, punctuation and breathing marks).

2. Three in-depth critical apparatuses, covering a broad variety of variant readings from ancient and medieval Greek manuscripts, as well as from the ancient Syriac, Latin and Coptic versions.

The first apparatus, which stands out from the second and third by the bold type of the variant, contains the readings that could seriously be considered as the original text.

The second apparatus contains the readings, which (i) are represented by revisions or their types, or (ii) which are attested in the time before the revisions, even if they are quite singular, or (iii) which are of any other material interest.

The third apparatus, which is printed in more narrow print, contains the accidental readings or errors in types of books or individual manuscripts.

Only the first and second apparatus are relevant for the history of the text, the third for the psychology of the scribes and the fortunes of the handwritten tradition. Variants of the same word are never distributed across two apparatuses.

Within each apparatus, the non-overlapping variants are separated by a vertical line, and those concerning the same word by a comma.
