| Summary: | In his important study on the origin of text-types, Ernest C. Colwell concludes with ten suggestions for further investigation and criticism. The ninth of these suggestions reads: ‘The textual history of the New Testament differs from corpus to corpus, and even from book to book; therefore the witnesses have to be regrouped in each new section.’ A corollary to this suggestion is the fact that certain manuscripts also differ from book to book-and even within books-as to the type of text they represent. Codex W, which makes a distinct change from a Neutral to a Byzantine type of text at Luke viii. 12 and is Western in Mark i. I-V. 30, is an example of this kind of ‘divided’ MS. Therefore, in the latest manuals text-type groupings which both regroup from corpus to corpus and recognize the ‘divided’ nature of certain MSS, appear as a matter of course. |
