Building upon a five years research SNSF grant on digital methodolo-gy and Mark 16, this article highlights scribal practices in New Testament textual criticism by focusing on the test-case of endings in Mark’s Gospel, pointing to a specific tradition of the so-called shorter ending in Latin Codex Bobbiensis or G. vii.15. This tradition differs from the usual Greek shorter ending. Section 2 first argues that contemporaneous scribal practices still exist in Greek NT scholarship, whereas Section 3 presents nine cases of scribal practices in Mark 16 – seven Greek NT manuscripts (Gregory-Aland 083, 099, 019, 044, 1, 304 and 579, in chronological order), one Latin NT manuscript (codex k), and the Harklean Syriac version of Mark.
