Textual apparatus UBS Maroon


Enoch

Recommended Posts

The publication of the Maroon Vinyl UBS/American Bible Society text around 1967 was a great revolution. Before that you had Nestle's blury printing & a textual apparatus that was obtuse. With UBS Maroon, you could actually read the text in clear font & clear text. Along with it was a textual apparatus that was relatively exhaustive on the select passages that UBS chose to address. It had no weird symbols to interpret & the variations were intuitively grasped by a simple, straightforward arrangement. I wonder why Accordance has not made that textual apparatus available along with the UBS text? One would expect that the UBS text with footnote numbers/letters in the text would be a feature to turn on & then in the Instant Details window one would see the variations displayed with the cursor on the footnote number.

We can only offer what we can license or agree to publish. GBS offered us the NA27 Apparatus, published on their CD. We do not have a license for the UBS Apparatus, though we do have Metzger's valuable commentary on it.
