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!
