Hi Ron, L105 "He who *will* know the father and the mother will be called 'the son of (the?) harlot'." There is the possibility that what is being addressed...
Hi Toli, There is of course, reference in Jewish writings to the Shekina- the presence of God in a kind of light display or glory- said to have departed from...
Sorry. I accidentally chooped the last part of my post of fwhen I was editing out Toli's post. The last line should read at the end - "comprehensive redaction...
Paterson Brown (with whom I have had a long internet acquaintance, and who is, I believe, a member of the group) has informed me that he has created and posted...
... Sorry, I meant 'hypostrophes'. There's about 500 of these in the text, many of which are "slipped overstrokes", i.e., they follow a letter which should be...
I know many of you are busy, if not on vacation, this weekend, but I'm rather excited about some test changes I've uploaded to my website, and I'm anxious to...
A slight change from the testing procedure outlined in the earlier note: a "Testing" line has been added below the normal index of sayings numbers on my...
Hi Mike! I like the revisions you are thinking of making. The usage of 79:1, 79:2, etc. is becoming more prevalent now and I think that (if it isn't already)...

Hi Frank, thanks for your response. First, a minor correction. You mention the "... usage of 79:1, 79:2, etc...." for sub-sayings. I've never seen it with a...
Hi Mike! Thanks for the information on cwwe. I notice that, in the IQP's attempt to convert the Coptic to Greek, they use agron for cwwe in 78.1. Is cwwe,...

... Yep, but the third letter of the Coptic word is that 'W' with a tail on it, which is an 'sh' sound. The standard GThomas transliteration scheme would...
Hey Mike- I haven't gone through your new revision line-by-line, by any means, but I REALLY like the new format. Good Job, and do not quit. Rick Hubbard Humble...
Thanks, Rick, for your encouragement. I've also received an offlist note from old buddy Kevin Johnson that I'll answer here. It involves the Coptic translation...
Background: In April DeConick's compositional model, GTh is divided into 148 parts. Some of these are whole sayings, others subsayings. The kernel, dated 30-50...

HI Mike, Like others, I think your new version is a signficant improvement on the old, which is not to say that the old is bad, just that this is even better. ...

Many thanks, Jack. Your positive assessment of my work means a lot to me. I realize that my contributions to the list have been pretty sparse over the past...
One of the projects I alluded to last night in my note to Jack Kilmon was to _finally_ get images of the Brill facsimiles of the GoT pages of Codex II online....
Hi, Mike - Thanks for putting the images of all 20 pages of the Gospel of Thomas online for those of us without the Brill Facsimile Edition. It definitely...
Hi Kevin, ... Yep, right on both points. ... According to the Preface of the Brill edition: "The codex did not orginally have page numbers. Arabic pagination ...
Hi, Mike - Thanks for the information about the page numbering. ... Well, I think that is accurate. As I recall, the mother of the two brothers who found the...
