Who was this Rodrigues? It turns out that he was a Jewish author, who wrote several books on the New Testament and early Christianity. In one of these books (Les seconds chrétiens – Saint Paul, Paris 1876) there is a chapter (V=pp.225-236) on what he calls ‘The Interpolation’, in which he suggests that vss. 14-15 (and 16?) were a late insertion (after 135 A.D.) of an anti-judaic ‘Johannine’ type. The apparatus of N26 therefore should be emended at this place (ad 1 Thess.2,16c). My suggestion is to leave him out and to keep only the name of Ritschl (16c as an interpolation) in the apparatus criticus. %U https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/NTT1985.39.012.BAAR
