NT Transcripts: Navigation Bar
The Default Page
This is what appears at the top of the page when you access the Digital Nestle-Aland Prototype. It is called a “navigation bar”. You use it to access the different parts of the Website’s contents.
On the left, you have a drop-down menu of manuscript descriptions. If you click on the arrow, you get a list of the manuscripts of which transcripts exist on this Website. If you click on one of the manuscript names, you are taken to a concise description of that manuscript.
In the middle, you have the drop-down menus that allow you to navigate to specific passages of the text. The Prototype features the First and the Second Letter of John. The subsequent menus are used to choose chapter and verse. Nothing will happen until you click the Go! button on the right.
Farther to the right, you have a choice of text critical information and texts to be displayed. The default is Word By Word. Here, the results of a word by word collation of the transcribed manuscripts are shown along with the Nestle-Aland text and apparatus. The other options are Verse By Verse, where the transcripts are collated verse by verse against Nestle-Aland, and Printed Ed. View, where the material of the printed Nestle-Aland is shown, without the information from the new transcripts. Finally, you have the option of directly choosing a transcript of a manuscript here. The subsequent menus are used to choose chapter and verse. Nothing will happen until you click the Go! button on the right.
On the far right, there are two links. The Search link takes you to the search function, and the Help link takes you to the guide you are reading now.
The line below these menus contains links that allow you to move quickly to related information. When you first enter the Website, you will see a Verse by Verse App. link that will take you to the same passage you are in, namely the Inscriptio, but with a verse by verse apparatus of the transcripts. You will also see a Next link that will take you to 1 John 1:1. Depending on where you are in the text, you will see links named Previous, Word by Word App., Inscriptio, or Subscriptio here.
