Metzger Text Commentary MSS links

[fmcfee]

Hi,

 

I just wanted to report that the hot links to MSS in the Metzger commentary no longer work (nothing shows up in instant details)....Scripture links appear to be OK....I was looking at Matthew 1:7...they do not work on my PC or MAC..I copied part of this below

Thanks

1.7–8  ∆Asa¿f, ∆Asa¿f {B}

 

It is clear that the name “Asaph” is the earliest form of text preserved in the manuscripts, for the agreement of Alexandrian (å B) and other witnesses (Ï1 Ï13 700 1071) with Eastern versions (cop arm eth geo) and representatives of the Western text (Old Latin mss. and D in Luke [D is lacking for this part of Matthew]) makes a strong combination. Furthermore, the tendency of scribes, observing that the name of the psalmist Asaph (cf. the titles of Pss 50 and 73 to 83) was confused with that of Asa the king of Judah (1Kgs 15.9ff.), would have been to correct the error, thus accounting for the prevalence of ∆Asa¿ in the later Ecclesiastical text and its inclusion in the Textus Receptus.1

Hmm....I wonder--were those ever linked in Metzger?

These were never linked because there's nothing in Metzger to link them to. He does list some mss in the appendix which are not described in UBS4/NA27, which is where the reader is expected to access that info since this is a companion volume.

Rick,

 

Thanks for your answer...I thought since Comfort's text commentary does have "instant detail information" about the MSS...I "assumed Metzger would  have them" ....I do have all the other apparatus including NA28 so I can see the details about the various MSS..

Not a problem. It's just that in this case there is nothing within Metzger to link to, otherwise we would definitely have added them.
