GALaCSy: The Earliest Translations of the Pauline Epistles

GALaCSy项目将对《波林书信》的最早译本进行重新审查。哥特语、Atheitop语、拉丁语、科普特语和叙利亚语的版本为古代新约的文本历史提供了重要的证据，也阐明了这些信件在不同早期基督教社区的接受情况。德国合作伙伴将审查自霍纳版本(1920年)以来确定的众多科普特手稿，并将加拉太书和以弗所书的萨希迪克版本和次要科普特版本进行完整的电子转录。英国合作伙伴将为加拉太书准备全面的Vtus拉丁文版本的古拉丁文证据，取代过时的部分版本的Sabatier(1743)。在最后一年，撰稿人将聚集在一起，根据为希腊新约的Editio Critica Maior收集的新材料，与来自意大利、美国和德国的正式项目合作伙伴一起审查版本证据，这些合作伙伴从事哥特语、Aethitopic和叙利亚语的工作。结果将包括新的学术资源，以检查保罗书信的早期传播(如科普特证人的数字大纲和早期拉丁文本类型的重建)，更好地理解这些早期语言传统之间的关系，以及将这些材料整合到Editio Critica Maior，有史以来最全面的新约版本。正如最近所显示的，该项目收集的证据有可能改变波林书信的文本，无论是在希腊文本的学术版本还是在现代翻译中，从而影响当今的基督教神学和实践。

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partners will prepare the comprehensive Vetus Latina edition of the Old Latin evidence for Galatians, replacing the outdated and partial edition of Sabatier (1743).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, the USA and Germany working on Gothic, Aethiopic and Syriac. 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.
