Although I am not in any class right now
I would very enthusiastically recommend that you start
with Maurice Robinson's paper and the monograph by
Weiss concerning his Profile Method and then work with
Sturz's book and lastly go to Aland's book or others...
Why?   First Robinson's and Weiss are much more READABLE! They
contain VERY MUCH useful information for any beginner to advanced
student....    Their tone and attitude is very very refreshing....
They both have very important concepts to introduce to the rest of
the textual criticism field IMHO  ;)
Thirdly --- since Robinson surely cannot toot his own horn I will
promptly did it for him   
Seriously I was just in the beginning stages of reading Aland's book
and trying to digest all of it and other material and personally I
was swamped...  Also why try to be on the leading edge of this
exciting field since everywhere else you are going to hear the same
thing repeated....
In fact, I think that more work should be done in the Profile Method
area.  If I ever can learn enough I will try to integrate some of 
this with Chinese ..... On Mon, 4 Mar 1996 KHGrenier@aol.com wrote:
