The main register of Greek New Testament manuscripts in Greek is Kurt Aland, Kurzgefasste Liste der griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments (Berlin/ New York, 1994) (= ANTF1), hereafter Liste. This list gives the current Gregory-Aland number assigned to each manuscript with details about its contents, age, writing material, the number of extant pages, the number of columns and lines per page, the format and the library classification where the manuscript is housed. Manuscripts are divided into the conventional categories, papyri, majuscules (uncials), minuscules (cursives) and lectionaries.

The 1994 expanded edition of the Liste includes the following;

1. Papyri: P1 - P99

2. Majuscules: 01 (ℵ) - 0306

3. Minuscules: 1 - 2856

4. Lectionaries: l1 - l2403

When manuscripts are discovered and allocated a Gregory-Aland number, additions are commonly published as supplements to the list in the Bericht der Hermann Kunst-Stiftung zur Förderung der neutestamentlichen Textforschung (Münster). The Bericht for the years 1995–8, published in 1998, contains the following additions:

1. Papyri: P100-P115

2. Majuscules: 0307 - 0309

3. Minuscules: 2857 - 2862

4. Lectionaries: l2404 - l2412.

This Bibliography of Greek New Testament Manuscripts contains details of articles, studies and collations of these manuscripts, including those dealing with text, illustrations and palaeography. I adopt the Gregory-Aland numbering.

In this revised, expanded second edition I have added articles that have been published since the first edition in 1989, including of course articles on newly published manuscripts. I have also taken advantage of this revised edition to include articles and references deliberately ignored or accidentally overlooked when I was preparing the first edition. After the publication of the first edition reviewers and friends made suggestions how the Bibliography could be expanded and made more useful.
