Annotating the New Testament: Textual Transmission as Reception History

对手稿的研究有助于探究人类的过去，书籍技术和古代传统的接受史。然而，直到最近，圣经学者只关注文本本身的传播，忽视了无处不在的特征，如标题，副标题和其他注释（副文本）。这种方法忽略了古代制作者留下的关键信息，正如格拉斯哥正在进行的一个150万欧元资助的项目“新约中的头衔”所证明的那样。与这个项目合作，我的研究集中在传播最广泛的手稿传统之一-新约-以确定这些副文本，这将严重改变他们的意义

The study of manuscripts has contributed to the inquiry into the human past, book technologies, and the reception history of ancient traditions. However, biblical scholars have until recently focused only on the transmission of the text itself, overlooking ubiquitous features like titles, sub-headings, and other annotations (paratexts). This methodology misses critical information left behind by their ancient producers, as evidenced by "Titles in the New Testament," a Euro 1.5M-funded project underway in Glasgow. Collaborating with this project, my research focuses on one of the most widely-transmitted manuscript traditions-the New Testament-to identify these paratexts, which will critically alter their meaning
