The book is going through its biggest revolution since Gutenberg.
Thanks to computer tools and electronic publication, the concept
and realisation of critical editions are being rethought. As so
often in the history of scholarship, editors of the New Testament
are making a vital contribution to these changes. In this book,
originally the Lyell Lectures in Bibliography at Oxford, David C.
Parker explores textual scholarship, in particular the idea of the
edition. He argues that textual scholarship has had an important
influence on the meaning given to the term 'New Testament'.
Starting with the observation that a text is a process, not an
object, he proposes a new way of understanding the relationship
between manuscripts, the texts which manuscripts contain and the
work they represent as the basis for critical scholarship. This
leads him to challenge the idea of a 'Greek New Testament
manuscript', and thus to reconsider the nature of the New Testament
as a collection of works and the nature and purpose of critical
editions. By studying new tools for studying how manuscripts are
related to each other, he shows how the modern digital edition of
the New Testament has overcome the impasses created by the failure
of Lachmannian stemmatics to deal with the problem of
contamination. Exploring the emergence of the critical edition in
modern scholarship, Parker discusses the ways in which a digital
edition advances scholarship and gives the reader more
opportunities both to scrutinise the quality of the edition and to
access the raw data on which it is based. The whole book uses New
Testament research as a paradigm of wider changes in textual
scholarship.
