Description: "Modeled on the respective studies of Ernest C. Colwell and James R. Royse, Juan Hernández Jr. offers a comprehensive discussion of the Apocalypse's singular readings in Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, and Ephraemi. Hernández finds that the scribes of these three manuscripts omitted more often than they added to their texts, were prone to harmonizing, and that at least one scribe made significant theological changes to the text of the Apocalypse"--P.
