TCers --

I should probably let Rich Elliot tell this. In fact, I should probably
have told him first. :-) But I'm just too proud of having managed the
to interpret the oracular instructions of my service provider to wait.

To the point --

Since people are still asking about the Encyclopedia of NT TC, I've
decided to start posting some potential articles. I've now completed
rough drafts of three of them, on "Canons of Criticism," "Oral
Transmission," and "Text-Types."

You can find them at

http://www.skypoint.com/~waltzmn

Suggestions, if not too sarcastic, are welcome. You can also take a
look at my idea of a format.

I have done my best to make the pages compatible with all browsers. This
means that, with regret, I put the Greek in English characters, and
spelled out the names of certain manuscripts (Aleph, Delta, Psi, etc.).
Other than that, the only things that aren't compatible with all
web browsers are a handful of tables (not supported by old versions
of Mosaic, etc.) and the superscript command (not supported, e.g., by
the AOL browser).

Also, I have several hundred K of web space still available. If anyone
else wants to post an article, send it to me and I'll convert it to
HTML and post it.

Let me emphasize, however, that this is Rich Elliot's project, and
you should contact *him* (REElliot@aol.com) to volunteer. I'm just
a guy who is viciously stealing his thunder. :-)

BTW -- yes, I have a couple of other articles in progress. But I'll
reveal them only after I see the reaction to what's already there....
