I did some paste-up work on the original H&F Maj text while
I was a student. One of the tasks I did as part of the
checking/paste-up was to compare the H&F choices for the M
reading with the choice found in UBS3/NA26 for the M reading.
The thing that struck me--its been a while and I didn't do
the whole of the NT (its been so long that I don't even
remember which portion I did), so don't take this as gospel--
was that the H&F choice for the M text matched the M reading
in NA every single time. The reason that struck me was, as
others have noted, the original collation was done on the
basis of von Soden and I had heard all of these terrible
things about von Soden's errors. Yet the comparison to the
M reading in NA matched everytime...I came to the
(tentative !!!!!) conclusion that von Soden (and his
students) must not have done all that bad of a job after
all. I asked Zane Hodges about that and he referred me to
an article on that issue (J.R.Royse, "Von Soden's
Accuracy," JTS 30/1 [Apr, 1979]:166-71). I'm not
claiming that either Royse or von Soden is accurate; just
thought a bit of historical trivia might be found interesting
in the midst of the discussion...
