The Gospel of Mark is a primary Christian scriptural text, generally dated by scholars to around the year 70 CE though the text itself is anonymous and carries no publication record of its own, which is why the atlas records no publisher and no publication year here. Its strength is that it is the earliest of the four canonical gospels and the primary source most scholars treat as foundational for the other two synoptic accounts. Its limit is the ordinary one for a scripture read in a modern edition: this record does not establish which specific manuscript tradition or translation underlies any given quotation from it.
