Studies in the History of the Greek Text of the Apocalypse: the Ancient Stems

Schmid, J. (2018) Studies in the History of the Greek Text of the Apocalypse: the Ancient Stems. [Scholarly Editions]

Abstract

Josef Schmid’s landmark publication, Studien zur Geschichte des Griechischen Apokalypse-Textes, has been the standard work for understanding Revelation’s Greek manuscript tradition and textual history for more than sixty years. Despite the fact that most major studies on the book are based on Schmid’s work, the work itself has long been out of print, making it difficult for the broader scholarly community to reassess Schmid’s conclusions in light of recent manuscript discoveries and technological advances. This new translation of the work makes Schmid’s detailed review of the history of textual scholarship; his comprehensive examination of the origin, history, and development of the Greek manuscripts of the book of Revelation; and his assessment of John’s peculiar linguistic writing style accessible to a new generation of scholars.
