As we were working through the Lord’s Prayer this morning, I pulled up the NET Bible notes and found this-

I’ve circled the MSS abbreviations in the note. These are plain text, not links. Since images for these manuscripts are now available both within Logos and/or online, it would be very helpful if these could be linked to the abbreviations/symbols, directly to the passage referenced. 

I think this would be a valuable upgrade for this and similar resources!

    I agree with your recommendation. Although, I guess any of the apparatus (apparati?) would qualify. BW sort of came close.

    Your sample put my teeth on edge. "The phrase was probably ... most likely ... a scribe probably .... "  He doesn't have anything to support; he has to guess when/where/who. And if he'd used 'possibly', if reduces his implied expertise (everybody can do 'possibly'!). Biblical-scholar-psychology.

    I also agree that manuscripts should be linked.
