During his inaugural address at Cambridge in 1911, A. E. Housman quipped, no doubt tongue in cheek, that the Germans thought textual scholarship was »mathematics.« One can only imagine what he would have thought of the 791 pages of statistical analyses in the Text und Textwert volume on the Apocalypse’s textual tradition! What concerned him, of course, was not math per se but the allure of slavishly following rules or procedures that inexorably lead to certain results. The latest TuT volume cannot be reduced to such a judgment. The project is more nuanced than that. But the risk is one to be aware of. Still, the data are immensely useful for clarifying questions related to the Apocalypse’s textual groupings and their unparalleled complexities.
