12!) manuscripts for each chapter of Acts, for difamong the ten (sic-actually
ferent sections, and for the whole document" (p. 130). No explanation is offered
why the percentages of agreement fluctuate from chapter to chapter. A development of this monograph could look into possible reasons for such fluctuations.
In many ways it is not the statistics but the apparatus of 147 genetically significant variation units taken from 8 chapters throughout Acts on pp. 28-60 that is
revealing. "Genetically significant" means readings characteristic of each of the
textual types in Acts. 30 of these 147 recur in the Text und Textwertvolumes. As
well as displaying the readings of his 12 manuscripts Geer adds the readings of P45,
and other fragmentary papyri, 10 uncials and 16 cursives (i.e. his 12 plus 81
P74,
105 614 1175) as well as Hodges and Farstad's Majority Text. I am not sure why
cursive 88, not one of his chosen minuscules, has crept into variant 26.
We could specify t* for the omission at 2:23, bracket 322 at 2:30, add P45 to
8:37, redesign 8:39 to show that the first reading is nrvwuixaxuptou and the second
and xuptou, and make other minor adjustments
has the longer text between TvEuLox
and corrections to the apparatus. There are occasional discrepancies between the
apparatus here and comparable evidence elsewhere. For instance at 18:27 Geer
has p38 support D at a place where this papyrus is absent according to Text und
Textwert(cf. NA27). At 20:24b Geer includes P74 at a place where, according to Text
und Textwert, it is "unleserlich". Nevertheless, this is a helpful apparatus that
enables us to see, more clearly than the statistical tables and at first hand as it
were, the interrelationship of the manuscripts that are here called fam. 1739. Two
other useful lists (on pp. 101ff. and 106ff.) are of a) 70 readings distinctive of fam.
1739 and b) 85 less spectacular readings, which are primarily supported by manuscripts from the family.
This monograph is a useful demonstration of how a laborious and painstaking
analysis is necessary if the profiles of related manuscripts are to be uncovered.
Family relationships based on quantitative relationships must be carefully
unravelled and then scientifically proven by a sophisticated statistical profiling
using a methodology such as Geer skilfully demonstrates here.

Neben denen, die gerne Gravamina iiber den traurigen Zustand altphilologischer Kenntnisse unter unseren Theologiestudenten singen, gibt es zwei Dozenten, die - sicher trotz allem Bedauern - Abhilfe schaffen wollen. Wenn es
scheinbar nicht mehr ohne sprachliche Analysen zu gehen scheint (ging es je?),
dann sollen diese wenigstens griindlich sein und modernen sprachwissenschaftlichen Prinzipien entsprechen.
Die Autoren, Haubeck, Neutestamentler am Theologischen Seminar der Freien
evangelischen Gemeinden (Dietzh6lztal), und von Siebenthal, Dozent fur biblische Sprachen und Textforschung an der Freien Theologischen Akademie (Giefien), legen den ersten Band ihres sprachlichen Schliissels vor. Haubeck ist
bekannt durch seine grundliche philologisch-theologische Analyse des paulinischen Loskaufmotivs (Loskauf durch Christus, 1985), von Siebenthal durch seine
GriechischeGrammatikzum NT (mit E.G. Hoffmann, 2. Aufl., 1990) und die deutsche Bearbeitung von T. Lambdins Einfihrung (LehrbuchBibel-Hebraisch).

nen (im Text und Anhang) durch die Erlauterung von Partizipial- und AcIKonstruktionen daruber hinaus. Mit dem, jetzt in 19. Auflage erhiltlichen,
sprachlichen Schlissel von Fritz Rienecker hat der inhaltlich vollig unabhangige
Schliisselauger der Idee wenig gemeinsam und iibertrifft dessen
Neue sprachliche
englische Ubersetzung und Neubearbeitung durch C. Rogers bei weitem.
Der andere Band (Matthaus-Apostelgeschichte) soil ziigig erscheinen. Wiinschenswert wire, wenn das Gesamtwerk nach Erscheinen des ersten Bandes in
einem Band in leicht verkleinertem Format erhaltlich ware. Somit ware der
Anhang auch bei Verwendung des ersten Bandes leicht zuganglich. Druckbild,
Bindearbeiten und Umschlaggestaltungsind vorbildlich. Das Werk ist bemerkenswert frei von Druckfehlern. Vielleicht mochten einige Leser, anstatt weiter Klagelieder zu singen, diesen sprachlichen Schlissel ihren Studenten, Kollegen und
Bibliotheken empfehlen.
