I gather that the ultimate goal of your project is to identify variant readings in the Greek NT text that were in circulation in the 4th c. on the basis of the Gothic translation by checking every word of the Gothic text against all attested variants in Greek mss. Granted, as a Germanist, you are only working on the Gothic piece of the project.
Or is your project aimed at elucidating the Gothic language?
One of the problems in studying Gothic is, that the corpus for almost 100% is a translation of NT-texts and a small piece of the LXX (a part of esdras). As this translation is quite close to linear, we cannot tell for sure, whether the Gothic text is “real” gothic or linear translated Greek. We also don’t know what mss were used, so constructing a greek text according to the wishes of Jülicher, Aland and Gryson would help Gothic research (deviations from the reconstructed Greek text, especially in syntax, could very well show real Gothic) as well as the NT-textcritical research (be it not in the main goal of NT-textcriticism: the search for the original Greek texts).
But probably we are leaving here the topics of this forum …
Thanks for your efforts to explain what you’re doing! This site generally doesn’t adhere to strict rules about relevance, and this has been an interesting discussion.
