THE NEW TESTAMENT IN GREEK: THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN
ELECTRONIC EDITION OF VOLUME TWO: THE MAJUSCULES
The transcripts can be accessed through the top frame. Select the manuscript from the drop-down list in the title bar. The full transcription opens in a new window. For details of each witness, see the manuscripts page.
The manuscript is displayed with the column and line breaks as they appear in that witness. To access the critical apparatus, select a Chapter and Verse alongside the legend: "Majority reading in John". This will give the reading of the majority of majuscules in the top box and the critical apparatus to this in the frame below. The verse selection can be changed using the "Previous" and "Next" links. Clicking on the blue siglum for each manuscript will jump to the correct position in the transcription displayed in the transcription window (which may be behind your apparatus window, or even minimised). To view the transcripts correctly, your browser will need to be enabled for Unicode. Given some inconsistencies in displaying Greek characters, we recommend the use of the freely-available Firefox browser.

SUMMARY OF INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ELECTRONIC EDITION
Instructions Conventions Sigla Witness list
Readable text is presented in black: ουτως
Lacunae: where parchment is missing and the text is lost (this includes places where the parchment is present, but the text cannot be read) [...]
The restoration of missing text is given in brackets. Sometimes we give a number or range of numbers in square brackets: υδρ[ιαν]
Dots under letters indicate that the restoration of the text is uncertain: ηλθ̣ε̣ν̣
Where the first hand (or a correction) is illegible, we enter the number or probable number of letters. [3-4]
In the case of corrections, the whole variation unit is presented in curly brackets. The first hand reading is given in green and subsequent corrections in blue. When the mouse prests n this text, a box appears with the details of the corrector siglum and the readings. {εγει/λεγει}
OM indicates text omitted by the first hand and supplied by a later corrector. OM
DEF lists the deficient manuscripts, for a whole chapter after the chapter heading of that verse, and for a verse within a chapter after the text.
[...] indicates a longer lacuna in a witness, the text not being restored.
