1 | What about a passage not in early ms? | Mark 16:9 | Radioman2 | 79842 | ||
Tim: Indeed this whole area is a fascinating study. Thank you for the additional information. Do I correctly understand that you are saying: '...the largest number of manuscripts were of a latter date and a lower quality than the minority of manuscripts' [which were of an earlier date and a higher quality]? (Here I am -- adding words for clarification or explanation, just as the later scribes did. :-) And without the authorization of the original author -- again, just as the later scribes did.) Thank you also for pointing out that 'there are several criteria which affect the reliability of a particular manuscript', criteria that must be applied with discernment. Thank you for once again giving us reliable and useful information. Radioman2 |

2 | What about a passage not in early ms? | Mark 16:9 | Morant61 | 79865 | ||
Greetings Radioman! :-) Indeed, you correctly noted that it was a combination of both aspects which made them less dependable - i.e. - they were both less old and of lesser quality. If I remember correctly, many of the later manuscripts were 'mass' produced, which led to far more errors. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
