    This topic has been discussed recently here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/173813/1/John-14-14-Ask-me-anything-in-my-name-or-ask-anything-in-my-name

    The list of abbreviations is in the NWT introduction. The (incomplete) sources referred to here (by the NWT footnote) are:

    P 66 : papyrus, ca 200 AD
    ? = "Aleph" : Sinaïticus, codex, 4th century
    B : Vaticanus, codex, 4th century
    W: Freer Gospels, 5th century
    Vg : Vulgate, Latin version, 4th century
    Sy h: Syriac version, Philoxenian-Harclean recension 6th-7th century
    Sy p: original Syriac version, 5th century.

    Maybe in 2000 years people will be arguing which translation of Moby Dick is best.
