On the Syriac versions, Wettstein sharply criticizes Immanuel Tremellio and Carolus Schaaf for their
editorial practice on 1 John 5:7. In his edition, Tremellius keeps v. 7 blank, yet reconstructs it in the
margin.’2 In the margin, in fact, he explains that since verse 7 was omitted in the Syriac as well as in
several Greek manuscripts, he did not dare to introduce it in the text. However, he provides his own
reconstruction of the missing v. 7. Later on, on the basis of Tremellius’s note, Schaaf introduced v. 7
in the text and translated it accordingly.” Wettstein wonders what the sacred text would eventually
become, if what is written by an editor for religious scruples (“religio”) in the margin ends up in the
text, against the evidence of manuscripts and editions (“reclamantibus omnibus codicibus MSS.
atque editis”).24
