The Institute for New Testament Textual Research

New Testament and to edit its text on the basis of the manuscript tradition, the
early translations, and patristic citations. Foremost among the editions is the Editio
Critica Maior Novum Testamentum Graecum (ECM), now in preparation. The
scholarly outcome of the INTFs work is also made available to the broad
community of commentators, philologists, translators, and students in three
printed concise editions: the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece (NA), the
Greek New Testament (GNT, also known as the UBS edition), and the Synopsis
Quattuor Evangeliorum (Syn). Moreover, digital production is becoming
increasingly important to our work, as is evident by the New Testament Virtual
Manuscript Room (NT.VMR) and NTTranscripts.
