Broader view of the apparatus

Question

I’ve known for a while that the Greek and Hebrew texts can be opened as a regular project in Paratext as well as the usual way of opening them in the Source Language Text. Today, thanks to anon044949 , I’ve discovered a reason why some users may want to do that.

It has to do with the apparatus, the specialized footnotes in the Greek text that reflect textual notes or variants in manuscripts. In the Source Language Text window, you can see these as popups when you click on the red superscript letter. But this only shows one note at a time. If a consultant or exegete would like a broader view to see the apparatus for a whole passage, they can open the Greek as a regular project, then press F7 (or go to View > Show footnotes), and will see all the apparatus notes for whatever verses are on screen.

Answer 1

The The Hebrew textual Commentary (HOTTP) is also available for the Old Testament. They are the red superscript “t’s” in the Hebrew text.

Comments

That is why I spoke of “apparatus” for both Greek and Hebrew. Is HOTTP not an apparatus?

---

I have never heard it called “Apparatus” before. While they have similar information, scholars seem not to a hypernym for speaking of them together.

Answer 2

Actually I just noticed that the HOTTP notes do not appear as footnotes in the Hebrew text when opened as a regular project. Window on left shows the Hebrew text, no note callers in the text or footnotes appear. Paratext 7.5, but the same thing shows in 8.
