| Summary: | This paper is an attempt to show that reader-reception analysis can help New Testament textual critics in the process of analyzing the proclivities of individual scribes, each of whom produced an "individualized" reading of the text as they interacted with the written text they were copying, not just as scribes but as real readers engaged with concretization and gap-filling. The singular variants in each manuscript leave a record of how a scribe interacted with the text. In this paper, we will look at the individualized "readings" of the scribes of three early Gospel manuscripts-namely P45, P66, and P75. They provide textual critics with some significant insights about scribal habits, as well as aid in the understanding of internal criticism. |
