Description
In 2001, the exciting but enigmatic 4th century Coptic Matthew text, Codex Schoyen, was introduced as an alternative, non-canonical Matthew. In this book, James M. Leonard refutes these sensational claims through fresh methodological approaches and easily accessible analysis. Leonard reveals that the underlying Greek text is one of great quality, and that Codex Schoyen can contribute to the identification of the earliest attainable text-but only with due concern for translational interference. Leonard shows how Codex Schoyen's close alliance with Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus allows triangulation of the three to help identify an earlier text form which they mutually reflect, and how this impacts a dozen variant passages in Matthew.
