"Studies on the Intersection of Text, Paratext, and Reception brings together thirteen contributions from leading scholars in the fields of textual criticism, manuscript/paratextual research, and reception history. These fields have tended to operate in isolation, but recent years have seen a rise in valuable research being done at their multiple points of intersection. The contributors to this volume show the potential of such crossover work through, for example, exploring how paratextual features of papyri and minuscules give insight into their text; probing how scribal behaviors illumine textual transmission/restoration, and examining how colometry, inner-biblical references, and early church reading cultures may contribute to understanding canon formation. These essays reflect the contours of the scholarship of Dr. Charles E. Hill, to whom the volume is dedicated"--
Biblical scholars examine the intersection between text, paratext, and reception in their discipline. The topics include marginal paratexts in GA 2323: a 13th-century witness to the medieval reception of Revelation, writing and writers in ancient Mesopotamia: a brief sketch for New Testament scholars, MasPsa and the early history of the Hebrew Psalter: notes on canon and text, problems with the explicit marking of quotations in the translations and scholarly editions of the New Testament, and the Acts of John within the Johannine corpus.
