Where Are the Introductory Materials?


Enoch

Recommended Posts

With UBS4 tagged & other modules, where does one find the introductory materials when they are not with the text?

As for example with UBS4, there is introductory materials explaining abbreviations, but they are not to be found by scrolling to the start of the text, as that is just the start of Matthew.

 

I was looking at Mark 13:4. Hovering over the 13:4 brings up instant details:

 

b 4 SP: NA // P: M TEV Seg FC NIV VP REB // S: NJB TOB

 

So, I am wondering what all these abbreviations mean, though some are obvious like TEV & NIV. (And there are no instant details for instant details!)

 

So where can one find the introductory materials included when you buy the physical book?

And if there is a ReadMe file that includes this, where is the ReadMe file?

I have not seen the print edition Enoch but I believe what you want is in the UBS4 Apparatus tool. Its located under Reference Tools in the library.

 

Thx

I do do have UBS4 on my iPad, but for NA28, opening the NA28 Apparatus gives access to the explanatory materials for the text. I am fairly sure the UBS4 apparatus has what you are seeking.

 

I do do know if there is a read me file for that module. I am away from my computer.

You really don't own one of those Maroon UBS New Testaments?

Thanks again Daniel, for your great help.

If you open the apparatus as Daniel suggests you can set it up as a parallel tool to the text. Then you can view the abbreviations in the instant details. I do not have the UBS apparatus but I do have the NA28 apparatus and you can see the what the instant details displays on the screenshot below. This may answer your query on the other thread.

Ooops - my secret is out - fumbling for an excuse .... er .... recent Greek student ? .... er .... didn't like maroon .... er .... oh well .... nope I don't :)

 

Much easier to use in Acc though.

Thanks for your example, Steve.

I guess there are many ways to skin a cat.

Daniel, many moons ago, I had this miserable, hard to read Nestle Greek Testament. All of a sudden on the market c 1964 appeared the 1st edition of the maroon UBS Greek NT, complete with appendix listing alleged references or allusions to the apocrypha (or pseudepigrapha) in the NT -- later removed for lack of believability, but still valuable IMHO for a list of similar passages. At last a Greek NT with a clearly printed font and an textual apparatus that was actually immediately comprehensible.

 

But I suppose that for many now the electronic version serves the purpose better (though as to font, I would like that Accordance gave you some choice in Greek font). In fact I am mostly using Accordance for my Greek text now.

 

Actually the Accordance program is a great blessing.
