"This well-known bilingual synopsis of the four gospels is
remarkable for its extensive text-critical apparatus. More variant
readings are listed here than in the standard editions of the Greek
New Testament. The English (Revised Standard Version. text of 1971)
is given on the page facing the Greek text, and also has a critical
apparatus, this time not listing ancient manuscript authorities but
various English bibles such as the King James Version and the
American Standard Version (1901). For the present edition variant
readings from papyri 90-111 have also been listed (mainly fragments
from Matthew and John: the relevant papyri are mainly kept in the
Ashmolean Museum in Oxford). The user should be warned to use the
present edition, and not very early ones. because the text-critical
apparatus of the early editions of this synopsis is not reliable.
--Aland. the original editor, died in 1994."
