If you've ever used a textual apparatus in a critical edition of an ancient text (e.g. NA27, UBS4, Rahlf's LXX, Vulgate, etc.) then you need to read Ed Cook's post, Latin for the Judgin'.

Now go on. Read it. Don't hang out here (I'm not going anywhere, really).

I'm unfamiliar with the routine/text. But the apparatus (and various statements/conclusions) are destined to become a biblioblogosphere classic.

Thanks, Ed.

"Peter Cook Seminar". I'm still laughing from that one!
