readings of Stephen (1550), Lachmann, Tregelles, Tischendorf,
Lightfoot, Ellicott, Alford, Weiss, the Bâle edition (1880),

[Sidenote: Weiss.]
Quite recently, Bernhard WEISS, of Berlin, began a new and independent
revision of the text, which has been published in three large volumes
with introduction and explanatory notes.
LITERATURE.—_Das Neue Testament. Textkritische Untersuchungen und
Textherstellung von D. Bernhard Weiss. Erster Theil,
Apostelgeschichte: Katholische Briefe: Apocalypse._ Leipzig, 1894.
_Zweiter Theil, Die paulinischen Briefe einschliesslich des
Hebräerbriefs_, 1896. _Dritter Theil, Die vier Evangelien_ 1900.
Vol. i. is compiled from _Texte und Untersuchungen_, ix. 3, 4; viii.
3; vii. 1. The section in vol. ii. entitled _Textkritik der
paulinischen Briefe_, is taken from _TU._ xiv. 3, and the
corresponding section in vol. iii. from _TU._ xix. 2 (New Series,
iv. 2). See “B. Weiss and the New Testament,” by C. R. Gregory in
the _American Journal of Theology_, 1897, i. 16-37.
[Sidenote: Von Gebhardt.]
In Germany, O. von GEBHARDT has done good service by issuing the text of
Tischendorf’s last edition, with the necessary corrections, and giving
in the margin the readings adopted by Tregelles and Westcott-Hort, when
these differ from the text. In the “editio stereotypa minor,” the
differences of Westcott-Hort alone are shown. In his Greek-German New
Testament, he also exhibits at the foot of Luther’s German text those
readings wherein the text of Erasmus’s second edition of 1519, used by
Luther, differs from that of the last edition of Tischendorf. In this
diglot of v. Gebhardt, therefore, one can see at a glance not only how
far the Greek text of the present day differs from that printed at the
beginning of the sixteenth century, but also the amount of agreement
between present-day editors working on such different principles as
Tischendorf and Westcott and Hort. In the Adnotatio Critica found in the
Appendix to the larger edition, there is a brief digest of the critical
Apparatus, but it extends only to those passages where Tischendorf and
Westcott-Hort disagree. The editio minor contains 600 pages. One of
these, p. 501, shows not a single disagreement between these great
editors, while 18 pages exhibit only one variation each, and these, for
the most part, mere grammatical trifles.
