The Editio Critica Maior provides the full range of resources necessary for scholarly research in establishing the text and reconstructing the history of the New Testament text during its first thousand years.
These include:
- all the variants found in the selected Greek manuscripts and in citations by the Greek Fathers,
- the evidence of the three most important early versions (Latin, Coptic, and Syriac) where they witness to variants in the Greek text,
- the evidence of other versions (Armenian, Georgian, Old Church Slavonic, and Ethiopic) where they witness to variants in the Greek text and to the extent they are available in editions.
The Editio Critica Maior of Revelation is available in four volumes. This fourth volume (Volume VI/3.2) contains studies on punctuation and text structure as these are significant for the study of Revelation. This special focus on Greek punctuation represents an innovation in the edition of ancient texts.
