Publisher Description

Facsimiles, photographic reproductions, collations, and studies of the textual character of many of the 5,000 or so manuscripts of the Greek New Testament have been published, but it is only with this book that a much-needed bibliography of them has been made available. This considerably expanded and revised edition of J. K. Elliott's 1989 A Bibliography of Greek New Testament Manuscripts marks a substantial increase in the number of titles and references. Some 5,000 new entries have been added, thereby doubling the size of the First Edition. The titles of books and articles are predominantly those published in the last 150 years. The titles are set out in the customary categories of papyri, majuscules, minuscules and lectionaries as classified in the conventional Gregory-Aland register.

Review

'The massive amount of information collected here will make this a valuable research tool for all those engaged in any way with textual criticism in NT study.' Journal for the Study of the New Testament "This revised version almost doubles the amount of information contained in the first edition of 1989 and offers an indispensible guide to work done on individual manuscripts of the Greek New Testament. As far as I could determine, Elliott has provided enough information to find the item you are after, or, as is perhaps more likely considering the range of material listed here, sufficient detail is given to enable an inter-library loan to be ordered. In conclusion, this work in its revised second edition further improves an indispensible reference book which fills a massive gap in New Testament scholarship and helps reveal other gaps to textual critics and librarians. We congradulate the compiler. His Bibliography is much to be welcomed and should find a home in an excellent theological library." Ashland Theological Journal "...this bibliography is warmly welcomed and will be of great use not only for textual critics and NT scholars, but palaeographers, codicologists, Byzantine scholars, and art historians as well."
