Die tekskritiese notas by die Nuwe Testament van die nuwe Afrikaanse vertaling

Abstract

The article contains a discussion of the problems of the inclusion of text-critical commentary in a translation of the Bible. The New Testament of the new Afrikaans translation of 1983 is taken as example. Four such problems are discussed: (a) the choice of the texts which are to be supplied by such commentary; (b) the formulation of the notes; (c) the use of brackets in the text; and (d) the inclusion of an introduction.
