This study takes "Text and Textual Value" as the starting point for an extensive analysis of the Greek manuscript witnesses for the Apocalypse. It focuses on carrying out a text-critical evaluation and grouping of the texts. It also emphasizes their relationships and how the texts developed historically. For the first time since Josef Schmid, it edits the complete manuscripts of the Apocalypse, thereby giving a new picture of their transmission.
