This is a text-critical edition of the gospel of John that reflects
the recension of the gospel in the Byzantine tradition. Taking one
particular MS as its 'base text' (miniscule 35) the edition then
compares some seventy other witnesses. The differences between this
text and that of Nestle-Aland are also noted. This is a painstaking
work of scholarship coming out of the Centre for Editing Texts in
Religion (now the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic
Editing) at the University of Birmingham. It is a highly
specialised work, but for those interested in the history of the
Byzantine textual tradition, or indeed the history of Byzantine
Christianity more generally, obviously a very important one.
