Análisis de la estructura literaria y fijación del texto

Abstract

The author claims attention on the importance of analysis of literaty structures in stablishing the original text. The determination of literal), structures, he assures, allows to make a judgement upon its redaction's his tory (in this way can be seen the heterogeneous elements the text is made of or, on the contraty, its homogenety); besides, in the case the extant manuscript tradition does offer divergent readings, the analysis of literary, structures can supply elements of judgement in order to support or refuse alternative readings. As a matter of sample, the author analyses the struc- ture of John 1,1-5 and concludes, on the one hand, the redactional unity of 1,1 -2, and, on the other hand, he sees confirmed the reading that punctuates the text after ô geogoyey in 1,3.
