Document Details : Title: The Earliest Corrections in Codex Sinaiticus Subtitle: A Test Case from the Gospel of Mark Author(s): MALIK, Peter Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 50 Date: 2013 Pages: 207-254 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.50.0.3206284 Abstract : One of the most intriguing aspects of the production of Codex Sinaiticus is the corrections made at various stages in the scriptorium. Perhaps surprisingly, no one has yet undertaken to identify these corrections by scribal hands that authored them and by the correction stage at which they were made. Using Mark’s Gospel as a test case, the present study seeks to assign the known scribal hands and the appropriate correction stages to these earliest corrections. After scrutinizing the individual corrections, I shall make some general comments concerning the correcting activity of the scribes in this portion of the manuscript, including a brief discussion of the textual affinities of (some of) the corrections. |
