Transcription of 29 fully revised; punctuation and abbreviations added.
Corrections to verse divisions in 10, 33 and 47 (John 19:4-5); 28.
Erased text is now treated as a deletion of unreadable letters rather than a correction, in order to display properly in the synopsis. The use of the ampersand (&) for the combination of 'et' in the manuscript is now displayed, although other digraphs are represented by two letters at present.
Verses completely omitted by the copyist have now been included with the text 'OM', in order to distinguish between these and verses for which a manuscript is not extant. The synopsis has been recompiled.
Images have now been included alongside the transcription in page view of 04, 27, 47 and 48 by kind permission of the holding institutions.
The transcriptions of 08 and 13 have been fully revised against the images. The missing pages of 33 (78v-79r) are now included.
Minor changes have been made to the transcriptions of 02 (based on De Bruyne's collation of the manuscript in the copy of Tischendorf's edition held by INTF), 16, 33 and 48.
The numbering of verses has been changed to correspond to that of the Greek text of Nestle Aland (27th edition). (This affects John 4:13-14, 6:51-72, 7:19-20, 10:41-42, 16:4-5). See also Version 1.7 below.
Transcriptions have been added of 7, 9A, 39 and 46. This means that the electronic edition currently includes all manuscripts of John listed in the 'Gospels' section of the Register of Old Latin Manuscripts published by the Vetus Latina-Institut.
The transcription of 10 has been fully revised against the images.
A number of minor changes have been made regarding the position of chapter numbers and the inclusion of Ammonian sections in certain witnesses.
Single-digit sigla are no longer prefaced by '0', in keeping with the practice of the Vetus Latina-Institut. Digraphs and abbreviated symbols are now included (when recorded in the transcriptions).
Five images of 9A have been included by kind permission of the National Library of Russia; images of 23 have been included by kind permission of Aberdeen University Library.
The two parts presently constituting Codex Sarzanensis have been split into VL 22 and VL 22A.
The transcription of 5 has been revised against the images. A visit to Brescia in November 2010 permitted the resolution of most dubious portions of 10. Minor alterations have been made to 9A and the Old Latin portion of 47 (following comparison with Mizzi's edition). In addition, several minor changes have been made to manuscripts in the opening chapters of John, with particular regard to reconstructed text.
The division of John 9:8-9 and 12:24-25 has been changed to correspond to the Greek text of Nestle Aland.
