Greek Text and the Early Greek Text

Good Morning everyone,

When I used Logos 3, I had a "collection", for lack of a better word, that would allow me to search all the Greek texts that I have in the "Earlies Greek Manuscripts" books. Is there anyone out there that has created a collection that will search these and where you can easily tell the date of the writing? Or give me some tips on creating the best most effective collection for these works. I am looking for the best way to find textual variants with the dates of these manuscripts . I also have Metzger's, but I want to be able to compare them myself (and, yes, I can read and translate Greek).

 

Also, does Logos have and I missed it, or will they be getting the two Codex Greek Mauscripts? Thanks!

  • Wiki has => Example Collections with some Greek examples, including Perseus 1st-2nd c. CE and 3rd-5th c. CE collections.

    Logos 4 has Text Comparison tool:

    where you can easily tell the date of the writing?

    Challenging question: resource "The Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts." has estimated dates

    While not directly addressing your need I did recently begin a project that may be on interest to you. It allows you to search for a reference and return all the Papyri the manuscript appears in sorted century. It also includes photos of some of the papyri fragments. If you are interested you can find out more at the link below...

    What did you do to build your text comparison collection?

  • What did you do to build your text comparison collection?

    Personally started by looking at Greek Bibles in my library using filter:

    type:Bible Lang:Greek

    then choose which ones to include in rule via title fragment or my tag (BibleGrid is a variety of resources for Bible searching with Grid results, including 4 Greek interlinear resources, which can be highlighted using morph visual filters). Wiki has => Tagging

    My "Greek Text Comparison" collection rule is:

    type:Bible AND Language:Greek AND (title:(Septuagint,Tisch,2005,"Scrivener 1881") OR mytag:BibleGrid)

    plus "Greek Manuscript" collection, whose rule is:

    type:Bible AND Language:Greek AND subject:Manuscript

    Note: wiki => Example Collections has Greek Manuscript collection.

    My "Greek Text Comparison" collection rule could be:

    type:Bible AND Language:Greek AND (title:(Septuagint,Tisch,2005,"Scrivener 1881") OR mytag:BibleGrid OR subject:Manuscript)
