What is it?

The New Testament Manuscript Explorer allows you to filter all the extant manuscript evidence according to type of manuscript, contents, date, textual family, and more.

How does it work?

New Testament manuscripts into a helpful interactive tool that lets you navigate, sort, and filter countless manuscript witnesses to the text of the New Testament. Find all manuscripts containing a portion of the Gospels copied in the 3rd century. Or find all the manuscripts that are a part of the Byzantine text type.

1. Open Tools and select "All interactive resources".

2. Select New Testament Manuscript Explorer.

3. The tool facets may be sorted by count or alphabetically. Facets include:

  • type
  • contents
  • textual categories
  • date
  • NTVMR coverage
  • Language
  • Tags
  • Holding institutions

4. To open the documentation, click "About"

5. Click on a facet to add it to the filter; click on x to remove filter element; click on "all" to remove all filters.

6. Click on a manuscript line to expand it.

do they link to transcriptions or to images

1. The title of the manuscript links to the resource within Logos (if you own it)

2. Links to where the image is from to see the picture of the manuscript on the website

3. The passages the manuscript contains is linked to your Bible

4. The dating of the manuscript shows a popup of the same thing unabreviated (3rd becomes Third)

5. Links to the website of the place where the manuscript is housed

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    FYI: At the moment, this feature is only available to people who have subscribed to Logos Now. Others will need to wait until Logos 7 (I'm guessing, but not positive, that it will be released to all at that point; since Logos Now is meant to be the "early bird" releases of features they are likely to put in a later major release).
