Over the past six years at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam a research group funded by NWO studied the history of New Testament Conjectural Emendation. The scholars involved are: Silvia Castelli, Bart Kamphuis, Jan Krans, Bert Jan Lietaert Peerbolte, and Karin Neutel. On the 19th of June, Kamphuis will defend his doctoral dissertation on Jan Hendrik Holwerda, titled: Against All Authorities: The New Testament Conjectural Emendation of Jan Hendrik Holwerda (1805–1886).

To commemorate the final stage of the project—the Amsterdam Database of New Testament Conjectural Emendation has been made available through the NT.VMR of INTF Münster, Kamphuis’ dissertation is finished, Castelli’s dissertation is soon to follow, Krans’ monograph will be sent to the publisher this fall, and Lietaert Peerbolte’s and Neutel’s publications are on their way—
a symposium will be held preceding the PhD ceremony.
