Abstract
This chapter re-evaluates and clarifies the role of Bezae (D) as a witness in several ways with the aid of newly discovered Coptic manuscript of Acts (G67). The Glazier (copG67), a fifth century manuscript of Acts 1:1-15:3 in Middle Egyptian, agrees with high frequency with distinctive and characteristic readings of the so-called Western text, so much so that it must be considered one of the primary witnesses to that text-form. Hans-Martin Schenke, though he acknowledges that the author introduced the abbreviation, copG67, prefers Codex Glazier, though B. M. Metzger uses copG67 in A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament. The text of G67 contains the Coptic text with a German translation. As Schenke explains, his edition emphasizes linguistic aspects of G67, while Paulinus Bellet's emphasizes textual criticism, and the two editions are meant to complement one another.Keywords: Acts; Bezae (D); Glazier; Hans-Martin Schenke; Paulinus Bellet; textual criticism; witness
