Beskrivning
In Scribal Habits in Sixth-Century Greek Purple Codices, Elijah Hixson assesses the extent to which unique readings reveal the tendencies of the scribes who produced three luxury manuscripts of Matthew’s Gospel. The manuscripts, Codex Purpureus Petropolitanus (N 022), Codex Sinopensis (O 023) and Codex Rossanensis (Σ 042), were each copied in the sixth century from the same exemplar. Hixson compares the results of a modified singular readings method to the number of actual changes each scribe made. An edition of the lost exemplar and transcriptions of Matthew in each manuscript follow in the appendices. Of particular relevance to New Testament textual criticism is the observation that the singular readings method does not accurately reveal the habits of these three scribes.

"This volume will be greatly appreciated by specialists as a model of careful and detailed textual analysis. [...] At the same time, the study is set out clearly and written in an approachable style, meaning that casual readers may also appreciate the quality and value of this book as an example of the best new research in this field." - H.A.G. Houghton, University of Birmingham, in: The Expository Times 131(8) 2020"Hixson’s work is an exceptional piece of textual scholarship and a necessary volume for text-critical libraries worldwide. One cannot image any future work being conducted on the purple codices or the singular readings method without consulting this text. It is the kind of work many academics should desire to produce, and it will make a substantial contribution to its field for many years to come." - Clark R. Bates, University of Birmingham, in: RBL 2022
