The chapter describes the process of editing the Greek New Testament. It discusses the critical edition as a narrative and the concept of an Initial Text. It goes on to the components of a true critical edition as including critical text, critical apparatus and full explanation for the text selected, outlines the history of critical editions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and then describes the hand editions available in the past century. It then deals in detail with the Novum Testamentum Graece Editio Critica Maior, describing the electronic transcriptions on which it is now based, the role of the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method in making the text, the use of patristic citations and versions and the value of the edition for the New Testament and to other textual scholars.Less

This book examines how transitioning from print to a digital milieu deeply affects how scholars deal with the work of editing critical texts. On one hand, forces like changing technology and evolving reader expectations lead to the development of specific editorial products, while on the other hand, they threaten traditional forms of knowledge and methods of textual scholarship. Using the experiences of philologists, text critics, text encoders, scientific editors, and media analysts, the book ranges from philology in ancient Alexandria to the vision of user-supported online critical editing, from peer-directed texts distributed to a few to community-edited products shaped by the many. It discusses the production and accessibility of documents, the emergence of tools used in scholarly work, new editing regimes, and how the readers' expectations evolve as they navigate digital texts. The goal: exploring questions such as, what kind of text is produced? Why is it produced in this particular way? The book provides digital editors, researchers, readers, and technological actors with insights for addressing disruptions that arise from the clash of traditional and digital cultures, while also offering a practical roadmap for processing traditional texts and collections with today's state-of-the-art editing and research techniques thus addressing readers' new emerging reading habits.Less

This chapter investigates the desire that fuels Johnsonian commemoration. It suggests that commemoration of Johnson is indeed fueled by a religious imagination of a communion with Johnson's spirit. This chapter also argues that criticisms on the commemoration in critical texts as well as in communal rituals and museums hinge on the material remainder of worshipful fantasies of transcendence.Less
