The Text Of The Epistles by Günther Zuntz

A Disquisition upon the Corpus Paulinum

An influential study in New Testament textual criticism that reconstructs the transmission history of the Pauline letters. Surveying early papyri and major codices, it maps manuscript relationships and text-types, evaluates the significance of witnesses such as P46, Vaticanus, and the 1739 group, and traces how editorial and liturgical practices shaped the developing corpus. The work offers a coherent account of the formation of the collection and practical principles for recovering the earliest attainable wording of the epistles.
