Online-Edition of the Old Latin Text of Acts (Vetus Latina)

该研究项目的目标是准备一个完整的使徒行传拉丁文文本的完整在线版本。第一章(共65页)已经在网上发布，第二章和第三章目前正在筹备中，将于2019年秋季完成。这笔资金如果得到批准，将用于编写使徒行传第4-28章。该版本将作为科学界的有用工具，其布局和好处如下：1.从早期版本到Vulgate(所谓的文本类型)的拉丁文文本版本是基于手稿证据和教父的语录。这些版本显示在版本页面的上半部分(所谓的“图式”)，可以很容易地查阅使徒行传每一节的每一段。2.正字法装置包含在拉丁文手稿中发现的重要的正字法特点(已在网上发表的手稿的校对提供了全面的概览)。3.对于每一段文字，关键机构都会为各自的文本版本及其不同版本提供见证人(手稿和教父)。在全面的见证机制中，所有的引用和参考发现整个拉丁基督教文学的晚期古代和中世纪早期的每一节根据权威的批评版本列出。与已经在网上公布的手稿校对和在明斯特的新约圣经考证研究所在其网站上提供的数据(不仅是希腊传统，而且早期叙利亚，亚美尼亚或科普特翻译在这里包括)，维都拉丁版本的使徒行传将是最后一步，以提供这本重要的新约全书完整的文本历史概览。除此之外，这些资源还为其用户提供了一个必要的工具，以说明拉丁文文本传播的不同阶段，并在希腊文文本和拉丁文译文变体之间建立可能的联系。在项目负责人的监督下，将由一组学生研究助理和博士生进行必要的程序，他们(两名本科生除外)已在研究项目中工作多年，因此获得了必要的技能和经验。

The research project’s goal is to prepare a complete online-edition of the Vetus Latina text of the Acts of the Apostles. Chapter 1 (consisting of 65 pages) has already been published online, chapters 2 and 3 are currently in preparation and will be finished by autumn 2019. The funding, if granted, will be used to work on chapters 4-28 of the Acts of the Apostles. The edition will serve as a useful tool for the scientific community, its layout and benefits are described below:1. The Latin text versions from the early versions to the Vulgate (the so-called text-types) are based on manuscript evidence and quotations of the Church Fathers. These versions are displayed in the upper section of a page of the edition (the so-called „Schema“) and can easily be consulted for every single passage of every single verse of Acts. 2. The orthographic apparatus contains the significant orthographic peculiarities found in the Latin manuscripts (a comprehensive overview is provided by the collations of manuscripts already published online). 3. For every single passage, the critical apparatus presents the witnesses (manuscripts and Church Fathers) for the respective text versions and their variant readings.4. In the comprehensive witness apparatus, all quotations and references found throughout the Latin Christian literature of Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages are listed for every single verse according to the authoritative critical editions.With the manuscript collations already published online and the data the Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Münster provides on its website (not only the Greek tradition, but also early Syrian, Armenian or Coptic translations are included here), the Vetus Latina edition of the Acts of the Apostles will be the final step towards providing an overview of the complete textual history of this important New Testament book. In addition to that, these resources also provide their users with an essential instrument to elucidate the different stages of the transmission of the Latin text and to establish possible links between the Greek versions and the Latin translation variants. Under the supervision of the project leader, the necessary procedures will be conducted by a team of student research assistants and Ph.D. students who (with the exception of two undergraduate students) have been working in the research project for years and have therefore acquired the necessary skills and experience.
