Abstract
Marginal glosses in early papyrus and parchment fragmentary copies of the Greek New Testament are attested in over 20% of the corpus and provide a fascinating insight into the transmission, function, reception, use, re-use, and editorial activities that a manuscript has undergone. The variety and scope of paratextual features include titles, content summaries, pericope headings, punctuation marks, textual variants, transitional markers, pagination, decoration, topic descriptions and several more. The width of margin or interlinear space does not appear to be a factor in the frequency, quality, or extent of the marginal note. The present research provides a catalogue and classification of these marginalia, and a discussion of several implica-tions for scribal practice, textual transmission, and interpretive insight.
