General Information about the List
******************************************************************************
tc-list: a discussion list of biblical textual criticism

This list is loosely associated with the new electronic journal _TC:
A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism_, and it is intended for a
discussion of any matters relating to biblical textual criticism, broadly
defined.  The rationale for the creation of the TC journal is given below.
It is hoped that subscribers to the tc-list will reflect on and respond to
material from articles in TC, will deal with issues that arise in the
context of text-critical study in the community of biblical scholars at
large, and will use the list to suggest new ideas and methodologies.
Notes on any aspect of the textual criticism of the Jewish and Christian
scriptures (including extracanonical and related literature) are welcome,
and threads that transcend the traditional boundary between textual
criticism of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and New Testament textual
criticism are especially encouraged.  We would also like to see threads
that discuss the relationship between textual criticism and other
disciplines.

This list is an unmoderated list, and anyone who is a subscriber to the 
list may contribute.  Conventional netiquette should be followed by all 
contributors to the list.  The following points in particular should be 
kept in mind.  (1) Discussion of topics other than textual criticism (or 
other topics likely to be of interest to members of the list) should be 
avoided.  (2) Scholarly discussion can at times be somewhat heated, but 
civility should always prevail.  (3) Contributors to the list should 
always sign their messages with their names (not just e-mail addresses).  
Additional information, such as institutional affiliation, might also be 
of interest to others on the list.  (4) When responding to a message on 
the list, quote only that portion of the message that you are responding 
to, or enough of the message to remind readers of the context of the 
discussion.  In many cases it is not necessary to quote the entire message.

Archives of tc-list are automatically maintained, and they may be
accessed by sending a message like the following to
majordomo@shemesh.scholar.emory.edu:

get tc-list tc-list.yymm

where yy is a 2-digit year and mm is a 2-digit month (e.g., tc-list.9604
for April 1996).  The first month archived is November 1995 (tc-list.9511).

List archives may also be accessed on the Web at 
http://purl.org/TC/archives/tc-list/tc-list.html.  
TC messages since 28 Feb 1997 are also archived by Reference.COM at 
http://www.reference.com.

******************************************************************************
Subscribing, Unsubscribing, and Sending Messages to the List
******************************************************************************
To subscribe or unsubscribe, send the appropriate message to 
majordomo@shemesh.scholar.emory.edu (_not_ to the list itself):

	subscribe tc-list [your e-mail address]
	unsubscribe tc-list [your e-mail address]

The e-mail address is optional, since subscription will default to the 
address you are sending from.

You may also subscribe to this list in digest form (i.e., messages 
bundled and sent out a few times per week) by sending this message to 
majordomo@shemesh.scholar.emory.edu:

	subscribe tc-list-digest [your e-mail address]

If you subscribe to the digest, be sure to unsubscribe from the list so 
you won't receive everything twice.

To send a message to the list for all to read, send your message to
tc-list@shemesh.scholar.emory.edu.  Don't send to tc-list-digest, even if 
you're subscribed to the digest.  Just send to tc-list. 

If you do not want to receive messages for a while (e.g., you're going on 
vacation or will be away from your computer for an extended time), please 
unsubscribe from the list.  There is no "vacation" command on this list.  
When you want to start receiving messages again, simply subscribe to the 
list again.

*****************************************************************************
TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism
*****************************************************************************
One of the benefits of increasingly widespread Internet access is the
ease with which scholars in a particular field can communicate with one
another.  Although the sciences have dominated the electronic journal
field up until this point, several journals in the humanities are now
available online.  TC follows in the (brief) tradition of the Journal of
Buddhist Ethics, the International Journal of Tantric Studies, and the 
Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies.  As far as we are aware, TC is the 
first Web journal in the area of biblical studies.

Why "biblical" textual criticism (rather than t-c of the NT or the Hebrew
Bible/OT)?  It is time for textual critics in the two camps to communicate
more with one another.  Textual critics in one field can only benefit by
hearing what those in the other field have to say.  The journal will
accept papers dealing with any aspect of textual criticism of the
OT/Hebrew Bible or NT, and it especially encourages "crossover"
papers that deal with both areas.  Papers dealing either with specific
cruxes or with larger issues (methodology, use of versional evidence,
etc.) are welcome.  Brief notes or full-length articles are equally
acceptable.

Why an electronic journal?  The fact of the matter is that printing a
journal costs a lot of money (especially with recent increases in paper
prices).  In addition, it is debatable whether the field of textual
criticism could generate a large enough base to support a paper journal.
There are technical difficulties with displaying non-Latin characters that
will have to be addressed, but some of these difficulties have already
been overcome. With an electronic journal, scholars and students around
the world can have free access to one or another form of the journal,
either via the World Wide Web, FTP, or e-mail. 

TC is now in its second year of operation, and we are looking for
articles.  Please submit your articles in electronic form to: 

        Jimmy Adair
        Scholars Press
        P.O. Box 15399
        Atlanta, GA   30333-0399
        USA

You are also welcome to send articles via e-mail to
jadair@shemesh.scholar.emory.edu, or you may upload your articles directly to
our FTP site at ftp://shemesh.scholar.emory.edu/uploads/TC.

TC has a home page on TELA, the Scholars Press World Wide Web site
(http://purl.org/TC), and interested parties
can look at this page for announcements.  We look forward to your
participation in TC and tc-list! 

The list-owner of tc-list is Jimmy Adair (jadair@shemesh.scholar.emory.edu).

Has any statistical analysis been done to test the hypothesis that the
various text types comprise one statistical distribution as opposed to
several?

Have any statistical tests in general been performed on the Biblical MSS?

I think we need some clarification here. What do you mean by "statistical
distribution"? Measured by agreement with some particular manuscript? Or
do you want to compare all manuscripts against all manuscripts? (Or,
more realistically, some set against itself?)

There have been studies done which use statistics -- the obvious
examples being Colwell and Tune and Kurt Aland's Thousand Readings.
As far as sophisticated statistical analysis of the results --
there is nothing. We don't even have an adequate definition of
the methods needed. Naturally, I hope to cure that. :-) Overall,
however, there hasn't been much interest.

I realize this isn't much of an answer. If you'll try to state the
problem more precisely, I'll try to give a better response.

Various metrics have been computed on samples for classification,
but no one has computed probability distributions for those statistics,
that I've heard of.

> Have any statistical tests in general been performed on the Biblical MSS? 

People have computed interesting statistical quantities from MSS,
but the tests performed seem to be always heuristic.

Dear TC-er's

I remember a discussion awhile back on the issues surrounding
1 John 5:7 on this list, but a search for that verse in
the archives came up with no matches.  Does anyone know
if that discussion is still active in the archive (the one
on www.reference.com only goes back to July 97.)

Thanks in advance,
Larry Kruper

The tc-list archives are now also available in a very usable format at
http://findmail.com/listsaver/tc-list.  The archive currently goes back to
December 1996, but I hope that earlier archives will soon be available
there as well.  In the meantime, remember that you can request specific
months from the majordomo archive by sending the message "get tc-list
tc-list.yymm" (where yymm is year and month, e.g., tc-list.9604) to
majordomo@shemesh.scholar.emory.edu.  For those who would like to download
and search the entire archive, I've made it available at
ftp://shemesh.scholar.emory.edu/pub/openhouse/tc-list (the archive is
complete through the end of October).  The files at this ftp site will be
updated monthly.  My search of the archives (searching for "John 5:7"  and
"Jn 5:7" then omitting references to the gospel [to account for 1 John
5:7, 1John 5:7, I John 5:7, etc.]) found the verse mentioned in
tc-list.9601, tc-list.9608, tc-list.9706, and tc-list.9709.

All of the tc-list archives back to November 1995 are now available on the
Web at http://findmail.com/listsaver/tc-list.  Messages can be sorted by
author, thread, date, or subject, and a search feature is also available. 
I think that having the archives on the Web will be very convenient for
people on the list (and others) interested in what we've discussed. 
Remember, too, that the archives can be downloaded from our ftp site
(ftp://shemesh.scholar.emory.edu/pub/openhouse/tc-list) and searched on
your local machine.

The main arguments made in this book are appeals to the indirect tradition
( Old Syriac, Old Latin and Latin patristic sources, among others ) and
providential preservation. The problem with this approach is that to argue
that the direct tradition ( greek MSS ) has become badly corrupt argues
against providential preservation. The authour makes much of the fact that
the Textus Receptus contains it, but not all editions of the TR do. In
short, the Johannine Comma has little to recommend it, either textually or
theologically.

On page 352, Maynard claims the comma is quoted by Cyprian.  I could not
find a clear quote in Cyprian.  Can anyone shed light on early church
fathers and the comma?

There is an electronic transcription of the Vulgate Bible available on the
Internet in lots of places, such as the OBI, with no provenance mentioned.
I've compared the text at the beginning of Mark against the apparatus
of the Nestle-Aland Nova Vulgata and concluded that it seems
to be the Stuttgart 1975 Vulgate.  The accuracy seems to be pretty good,
i.e. it wasn't a quick scanning hatchet job.  The differences from the
Nova Vulgata with apparatus seemed to be orthographical, stuff that is
not expected to be reflected in its apparatus anyway.
Has anyone seen any Latin bibles in electronic form not derived from this
transcription?

A question about Latin Vulgate orthography....
In the 4th/5th century of Jerome, did Latin distinguish U/V and I/J already?
I know that they are classically the same, and that later in the
middle ages V and B are confused, indicating V had become a consonant.
But when did these changes occur?

My transcription of the book of Matthew from the Freer Gospels (W)
for the Electronic NT MS Project has been updated and is more-or-less finished,
although more comparison with Sanders' facsimile would still help.
Under http://www.znet.com/~broman/manuscripts.html you can find the basic
SGML/TEI format transcription and a slightly interesting Postscript
Uncial rendition of the first hand's text.  All hands are recorded and
both regularized and original spellings are given.  Extensive checking
against secondary sources (and a lesser amount from the facsimile) was done.

I believe this is the largest hunk of MS publically available so far
from the ENTMP, although the Hebrews transcriptions will dwarf it someday.
My next will likely be from John and will probably come from W, Pi, or 0211.

Orthography and pronunciation are two separate issues, and I will address
the latter first.  A good source for classical Latin pronunication is W.
Sidney Allen, VOX LATINA (Cambridge: U.P., 1965) (2d ed. 1978).  On page
41, Allen explains that the evidence in the 1st cen. B.C. clearly shows
that Latin 'v' was pronounced as a [w].  However, starting the 1st cen.
A.D., 'v' and 'b' were sporadically confused in inscriptions, and by the
2d cen. A.D. Velius Longus clearly referred to friction in the sound,
indicating a [v] or more probably a [B] sound ([B] as in Spanish 'lavar'
[laBar]).  The [w] sound for 'v' appears to have lasted in a few isolated
quarters until the 5th cen. A.D.

As for I/J, Allen, p.38, only says that the change from the semi-vowel "y"
sound to an affricative "j" sound is "very late" and indeed has not yet
occurred in all places, e.g. Spanish "yace" from Latin "iacet."  I can only
infer from this statement that Jerome probably said a "y" sound.

According to Allen, the orthographic distinction between the consonants j, v
and vowels i, u is relatively recent, i.e. no earlier than the 15th cen.,
since the medievel usage was for j, v to be used in word-initial position
and i, u in other places.  The vowel/consonant orthographic distinction can
be traced to a suggestion by Leonbattista Alberti in 1465 and adopted into
Spanish in 1492 and Latin in 1559, followed shortly by the French.  I am
personally aware that 'j' in Italian is used variously for foreign words,
certain dialectal words (e.g. Romanesque "ajo" ['y' sound] = Std.It. "aglio"
garlic), and as a old-style abbreviation for a final '-ii'.

In summary, for the Vulgate, I/J and U/V were not orthographically
distinct, yet consonantal I/J was probably pronounced as a "y" and
consonantal U/V as a (Spanish) "v".

Chapter 6
 
The spouse of Christ cannot be defiled; she is uncorrupted and chaste. She
knows one home, with chaste modesty she guards the sanctity of one couch.
She keeps us for God; she assigns the children whom she has created to the
kingdom. Whoever is separated from the Church and is joined with an
adulteress is separated from the promises of the Church, nor will he who
has abandoned the Church arrive at the rewards of Christ. He is a
stranger; he is profane; he is an enemy. He cannot have God as a father
who does not have the Church as a mother. If whoever was outside the ark
of Noe was able to escape, he too who is outside. the Church escapes. The
Lord warns, saying: 'He who is not with me is against me, and who does not
gather with me, scatters.' He who breaks the peace and concord of Christ
acts against Christ; he who gathers somewhere outside the Church scatters
the Church of Christ. The Lord says: 'I and the Father are one.' And again
of the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit it is written: 'And these three
are one.' Does anyone believe that this unity which comes from divine
strength, which is closely connected with the divine sacraments, can be
broken asunder in the Church and be separated by the divisions of
colliding wills? He who does not hold this unity, does not hold the law of
God, does not hold the faith of the Father and the Son, does not hold life
and salvation.

Dear list-members,

My question relates particularly to "Fragments of the Book of Noah"
(chapters 6-11) or "The Book of Watchers" (Milik`s term) (chapters 1-36).
What is the age of the Greek Cairo papyrus 10759? (I do not at present have
access to M.Black, 1970, "Apocalypsis Henochi Graece" where a date may be
found). Are there other older Greek manuscripts? What are the conjectures
as to when this part of 1 Enoch was translated into Greek?

Regards
