Liste (Greek) and Manuscript Catalogue (all)

The NTVMR began as a digital environment to carry out editorial work on the Greek New Testament. As the NTVMR has continued to expand and evolve, we have hosted a variety of research projects there; although most of these projects are related to the Greek New Testament, some have to do with languages other than Greek (e.g. the Mark16 project) or even deal with non-canonical texts (e.g. 1 Clement).

 

To support these projects, we have been allocating new Doc IDs in the NTVMR to a variety of relevant primary resources which do not belong in the Kurzgefaßte Liste. For example, Got1; syH3; sa 1; VL 1; arm 252.

 

This has recently created some confusion about which materials searchable on the NTVMR actually belong in the Liste since non-Greek New Testament resources were included in the same database.  

 

Therefore, we have taken steps to make this distinction clearer by changing the “Liste” link so that only what belongs in the Kurzgefaßte Liste, i.e., manuscripts designated with a Gregory-Aland number, are located under this link. This should correspond to what will be included in the forthcoming printed Liste.

 

For those who benefit from other research projects in the NTVMR beyond the parameters of Greek New Testament manuscripts, we have created a new link labeled “Manuscript Catalog,” which has all available documents (including all Greek New Testament witnesses included in the Liste).

 

All documents in the NTVMR are now available under the new link in the sidebar on the homepage:

 

Manuscript Catalog (All)

 

The link for the Liste is now restricted to only items in the Kurzgefaßte Liste:

 

Liste (Greek)

 

By providing separate search tools we hope to offer the user an experience that is tailored to their specific research purposes. Researchers who want to work strictly with Greek New Testament manuscripts will now have a more efficient platform to do so. Likewise, those who want to incorporate other traditions into their research will continue to see all results available under “Manuscript Catalog (all).”

I realise this comment does not relate to this post, but what I wanted to know is whether there is any Syriac data in this ECM database? thanks

Thanks for your message. Syriac is cited in the apparatus of the ECM. You can explore the digital ECM here and find attestations with Syriac witnesses: https://ntvmr.uni-muenster.de/ecm

If you are looking for Syriac manuscripts, data for a few Syriac manuscripts have also entered into the NTVMR (but not many so far). You can find all Syriac entries in the NTVMR Manuscript Catalog by selecting “syc” under “Language” in the search menu. Please keep in mind the NTVMR is used for many different projects, so not all results may be relevant for what you’re looking for.
