Bereshit / In Principio

Transmission map

Every witness touched by a cites, echoes, or transmits edge — 227 of the edition's 292, laid out by date and banded by bench — with the 206 edges themselves drawn on hover. This is the introduction's second finding as a picture: what was handed on, and where each line stops.

14 of those 206 edges cross a bench — all of them between the Latin and the Greek-Jewish. Not one — 0 of 14 — runs to or from the rabbinic bench. Every time this edition can show one side actually reading the other's words, the other side is Greek. Where the rabbinic bench meets the rest, on this map, it doesn't: that contact is all parallel, off this page by design, and is what the ten findings are made of instead.
