Abstract

The Claremont profile-method has important implications for and applications to the International Greek New Testament Project (IGNTP)'s proposed apparatus criticus, for it should now be possible to examine any manuscript or microfilm of a manuscript containing Luke and to determine with relative ease and considerable certainty its group identity. The profile-method has already called for certain adjustments, on solid grounds, in Hermann von Soden's classifications. In broader terms, it would appear that the Claremont profile-method for grouping New Testament minuscule manuscripts may well mark the turning point in the study of this class of Greek witnesses to the New Testament text, for it offers, as has nothing previously, a consistent and systematic method for classifying minuscules and, in addition, recognizes the all-important methodological principle that both agreements and disagreements between manuscripts, as well as between groups, must be fully taken into account and measured.Keywords: apparatus criticus; Claremont profile-method; Hermann von Soden; International Greek New Testament Project (IGNTP); New Testament (NT) minuscule manuscripts
