Bücher von Albert Ten Kate

This book is the result of about fourteen years (2009-2023) of papers, made for different symposia about the Eastern-Christian traditions: eight researches on the Georgian Bible and five on the Armenian. There were already papers published in the West: on the Codex Schoeyen and on Codex Scheide, a research on Gregory of Nazianze and an article on the Sanctus. But others remained unpublished, or they were hardly accessible in the West. Therefore we do publish them here to show their importance for the traditions of the Early Church. As the Appendix of Chapter 11 we publish a full edition of the Armenian column of the manuscript Barberinus Orientalis, which is compared with the text of the edition of Zohrab. We include here also three on Coptic and one on Ethiopic, that we add to our previous publications on the Armenian Gospel of Mark, on the Ethiopian Gospel of John, on the Gospel of John in Greek, and on the Coptic Codex Schoeyen. These were for a more specialized public, being as a kind of reference-works. The contributions we publish here, though having a rough, unfinished state of their text, aim at a more general audience: we hope they will be a bit more accessible.

This book contains in two volumes a full text-critical analysis of this remarkable 4th century Middle-Egyptian manuscript. Not only all available early Coptic, Greek, Syriac and Latin, but also Armenian, Georgian, Arabic and Gothic versions, are included in the comparison as textual witness, but also Palestinian, Georgian and Dutch Lectionaries, as well all the different Diatessara. Hilarius of Poitiers and John Chrysostom also appear as textual witness, as well as early Armenian Fathers. Its free text-form is affiliated to the early Syriac and Ethiopian witnesses and to the Diatessaron. So this book contributes as a reference-book, not only for the critical edition of the Coptic and of the Greek New Testament, but it has also implications for the wider range of textual study of the Early Church: the freer text-form, as represented by this manuscript and by the Dura-Europos harmony, appears to be the older form than that of the standard Greek manuscripts.
