To my Orthodox Friends and NT Critism Scholars

I'm looking for an Edition representing the Byzanz Textform. What do you thinks about this?

I already have RP but this one has Apparatus

The Patriarchal Greek New Testament is, if I understand it right, goes with Minuskel and Lectionaries who are not in other critical Edition...

would PGNT a good Choice for Comparison? Or better GNT with the Apparatus?

Depends on what you mean by 'Byzantine'. I'm guessing from your title, the eastern side of the church ... which at one time was the western side.

In that case, your PNT would be an interesting choice, since it includes clues on how it was built.

The Majority resource you mention, I have mixed feelings ... basically a run at the western side of the church (vs the egyptian). So also PR and several others. The apparatus is a sleeper ... sums majority vs egyptian, with terse comments. The PB on varients is much better. And even better, CNTTS color coded by period.

You might also look at Tischendorph, quite old, but still quite interesting on majority type texts. And for curiousity, Newberry Interlinear which combines the 1550 TR with Robinson's morphs.

Lastly, to mix your mind up, Kirsopp Lake's 'Text of the New Testament' .... he spent quite a bit of time at Mount Athos with the manuscripts there.

Hi Denise

thanks for for your help. Yes I thought another few on the Text would be helpful in my Study. I already have Nestle Aland, GNT, Westscott, TR and Tischendorf so as RP in Logos.

The answer depends on the task you are trying to accomplish.

On of my Studies (on my own) is Textual Critism and the Transmission of the Bible. So I like to find every Side of it. Since the "Normal" Critical Editions goes bevor the Majority Text, I also have RP with it. What I found interresing is that the Patriarchical Eddition seem to have the Minuscles and Lectionaries from the 9 - 16 Century, so it would give another Perspektive.

More importantly (for my interests) the PATr is the version that Greek Orthodox hear in the Divine Service and expect to see used to verify doctrine ...

That's good. You're already aware that there is not one definitive RP, and at the same time you're not doing rigorous textual criticism requiring exhaustive references. Any of the titles mentioned in this thread should serve your purpose.
