Talk by the Rev. G. D. Kilpatrick Dean Ireland's Professor of Exegesis of Holy Scripture in the University of Oxford
The New Testament was originally written in Greek and it is of the first importance to have an accurate version of the original. This cannot always be decided beyond dispute and, therefore, texts of the New Testament must have extensive footnotes showing the variants in the different manuscripts. In preparing a new edition of the Greek New Testament Professor Kilpatrick has been working on these extensive footnotes, which are called the Critical Apparatus; and in this talk he describes what research is necessary for its compilation.
