| Summary: | Compared to other apocryphal gospels, the Infancy Gospel of Thomas has received little attention in recent decades. The text has but one prominent scholarly champion: Sever Voicu. Over the past twelve years, S. Voicu has published several important articles on the gospel's text-critical problems. However, his work neglects the text's Greek manuscript tradition. This article seeks to redress that balance with an analysis of the published and unpublished Greek manuscripts of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. An argument is made also for a re-evaluation of Sabaiticus gr. 259, an eleventh-century manuscript that may prove invaluable for establishing the original text of the gospel. The article concludes with some observations on the texts of several early versions (Ethiopic, Syriac, and Old Latin) of the gospel. |
