LaParola does a good job. Years back I used to send him corrections, and he would check them and if he felt sound, make the correction. He utilizes a few well-know apparatuses and gives a composite. However, no modern apparatus is very good on the early church writers. My recent study on Acts 8:37 c...

Omitting a phrase or verse from a textline is easy. Look at 1 John 2:23b as an example. 1 John 2:23 (AV) Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. One of the (many) key weaknesses of textual criticism today is assuming that the...

Hi Ulan, If I remember right, Jerome said he translated the full New Testament. If so, why not simply accept his words? Who else claimed to do the books beyond the Gospels? As for the Oxford NT, how does its count of mss split? Without that info, there is little value in the reference. And I realize...

Jerome said specifically that the eunuch believed and was baptised, the Old Latin line strongly favors the verse, the Wordsworth mss are split, the mass of the Vulgate mss suport the verse. And the ECW including Irenaeus, Cyprian, Pontius the deacon , Hilary, Pacian, Chromatius, Augustine, the Specu...

If your goal is to approximate the c. 400 AD Vulgate text, the 11 or so mss that make up the Wordsworh edition might be competitive to the Clementine and other historical Vulgate editions. I don’t know of studies that look at a number or variants or tell you how often the Wordsworth mss. have a majo...

Ahh, understood, thanks.

As for the 1905 Wordsworth Vulgate, that is often a minority Latin text, based on a small number of mss.

You really have to limit the study to cases where there is a significant difference with the Byzantine Greek reading (which will genrtally be the TR reading.).

Once you take alternate spellings and nomina sacra for the same word into account, there are more identical verses than that.

As long as you define non-identical as identical, then there are many identicals.

Ben, they are identical on verse 24.

Ulan, Burgon’s analysis of major differences does not leverage on D, and does not include the Vulgate. You should read the section. Then you will be closer to no confusions.
