Kristin Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 To anyone who is familiar with the CNTTS, I am having some confusion concerning the meaning of "Lacunae." I know that Lacunae means that "the manuscript is not extant for this reading or passage," but I am unsure how it differs from OM (Omit, the base reading is omitted). Thank you for any help anyone can provide. Sincerely, Kristin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W. Davidson Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Lacunae means that the manuscript has a literal hole at that reading. Omit means that the manuscript isn’t damaged; it just doesn’t have the given word. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Mansfield Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Lacunae means that the manuscript has a literal hole at that reading. Omit means that the manuscript isn’t damaged; it just doesn’t have the given word. That's a helpful distinction, Brian. So helpful in fact, I added as a note to my copy of the CNTTS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
