TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism:
Volume 3 (1998)

It is no longer necessary to download the Scholars Press fonts to see TC articles with Greek, Hebrew, and other non-Roman characters in the original scripts! The latest editions of Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer allow users to see non-Romans characters on their screens without further effort. For more details, see TC Notes 3. TC readers without the latest browsers should still be able to view the original script articles if they have the proper fonts installed.

For people who do not have a browser that displays non-Roman characters, viewing Hebrew, Greek, and other languages is problematic. TC uses a standard transliteration scheme in the regular HTML and text versions of all its articles. Words that are transliterated in the text are enclosed in tags that indicate the language of the words, for example, <heb> (Hebrew), <arc> (Aramaic), <grc> (Greek), and <syr> (Syriac).

Articles

The following six articles are based on papers delivered in a meeting of the New Testament Textual Criticism section of the Society of Biblical Literature, San Francisco, November 1997. During this session, Barbara Aland and Klaus Wachtel, two of the editors of the Novum Testamentum Graecum Editio Critica Maior, presented the volume, and four of their colleagues presented their thoughts on this important new work.
