About this Item

Studies on the Intersection of Text, Paratext, and Reception brings together thirteen contributions from leading scholars in the fields of textual criticism, manuscript/paratextual research, and reception history. These fields have tended to operate in isolation, but recent years have seen a rise in valuable research being done at their multiple points of intersection. The contributors to this volume show the potential of such crossover work through, for example, exploring how paratextual features of papyri and minuscules give insight into their text; probing how scribal behaviors illumine textual transmission/restoration, and examining how colometry, inner-biblical references, and early church reading cultures may contribute to understanding canon formation. These essays reflect the contours of the scholarship of Dr. Charles E. Hill, to whom the volume is dedicated.Contributors are James Barker, Richard Bauckham, Paul Foster, Peter J. Gentry, Peter J. Gurry, Moses Han, Peter M. Head, Jennifer Knust, Michael J. Kruger, Gregory R. Lanier, Peter Malik, Stanley E. Porter, J. Nicholas Reid, Tommy Wasserman, Peter J. Williams.
