Title
'Learning, Taste and Judgment' in the Editorial Process

Published
SAC 32 (2010): 345-55.

Description
Critiques Roy Vance Ramey's defense of the Manly-Rickert text of CT and castigates Ramsey's own methods and practices. The Manly-Rickert edition is valuable for its demonstration that "recension" cannot be used to construct a reliable text of CT, and it provides much useful information--but Ramsey's defense is misguided.
