And let's not speak about Arabic, Ethiopian, medieval Dutch, English,
Catalan, Soghdian, Persian, medieval Hebrew, etc... Though I work directly
on the versions (and maybe not enough on the Greek, as my master C. Amphoux
told me), I like the edition of Merk, who gives more versional and
diatessaric evidence. Also, for the latin side, it gives the vulgate text
with old latin variants. Though my exemplar dates from 1944, I do not feel
that it has been superseeded.

Sure, only is it such an immense field that it's very difficult to master
when coming from an un-liturgical background (which, by the way, is my
case) - but we should all try...
