Good Text-Critical Books: NT Manuscripts, and the Old Latin

Both are quite detailed. I've recommended the Latin before, if only to 'fill-out' Logos having more than just a greek perspective. Both are looking at pre-Constantine.

The Early Text NT is especially good, since it effectively, drills below Comfort's manuscript volumes:

- Each gospel, examined by manuscript, with lengthy discussion of variences

- Paul's letters, as evidenced, again detailed examination

- The writings/letters similarly

- Early use by the church fathers

- Early translations and their significance.

One problem, these days, is prices. I got mine cheap, about 8 years ago, and OUP's are becoming unaffordable, even Kindles. So.
