The Earliest Translations of the Pauline Epistles

GALaCSy：保罗书信的最早译本GALaCSy项目将对保罗书信的最早译本进行重新审视。哥特语、Aethiopic、拉丁语、科普特语和叙利亚语版本为古代新约圣经的文本历史提供了重要证据，也揭示了这些信件在不同的早期基督教社区的接受情况。德国合作伙伴将审查自霍纳（1920年）版以来已确定的众多科普特手稿，并对Sahidic和未成年人科普特版本的加拉太书和以弗所书手稿进行全面的电子翻译。英国的合作伙伴将准备全面Vetus拉丁版的旧拉丁证据加拉太书，取代过时的和部分版本的Sabatier（1743年）。在最后一年，贡献者将聚集在一起，根据为希腊新约圣经的Editio Critica Maior收集的新材料，与来自意大利和美国的哥特式和Aethiopic的正式项目合作伙伴一起检查版本证据。结果将包括新的学术资源，以检查早期传播的保罗的信件（如科普特证人的数字概要和早期拉丁文文本类型的重建），更好地了解这些早期语言传统之间的关系，并将这些材料整合到Editio Critica Maior中，这是有史以来最全面的新约圣经版本。正如最近所显示的那样，该项目收集的证据有可能改变波林书信的希腊文本和现代翻译的学术版本，从而影响当今的基督教神学和实践。

GALaCSy: The Earliest Translations of the Pauline Epistles The GALaCSy project will undertake a fresh examination of the earliest translations of the Pauline Epistles. Versions in Gothic, Aethiopic, Latin, Coptic and Syriac provide important evidence for the textual history of the New Testament in antiquity and also shed light on the reception of these letters in different early Christian communities. The German partners will review the numerous Coptic manuscripts which have been identified since the edition of Horner (1920) and make full electronic transcriptions of manuscripts of Galatians and Ephesians in Sahidic and the minor Coptic versions. The British partners will prepare the comprehensive Vetus Latina edition of the Old Latin evidence for Galatians, replacing the outdated and partial edition of Sabatier (1743). In the final year, the contributors will come together to examine the versional evidence in the light of the fresh material assembled for the Editio Critica Maior of the Greek New Testament, in company with formal project partners from Italy and the USA working on Gothic and Aethiopic. The results will include new scholarly resources to examine the early transmission of Paul’s Letters (such as a digital synopsis of Coptic witnesses and a reconstruction of early Latin text-types), a better understanding of the relationship between these early linguistic traditions, and the integration of this material in the Editio Critica Maior, the most comprehensive edition of the New Testament ever to be produced. As has recently been shown, the evidence gathered by the project has the potential to change the text of the Pauline Epistles both in scholarly editions of the Greek text and in modern translations, and thus influence Christian theology and practice in the present day.
