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. ...
Hi Judy, ... What I'd like to see is some support for this claim. Most of the historical developments in question seem to have no datable events associated ...
The name of Larry Hurtado has been mentioned here several times over the years, but not one of his latest books, _The Earliest Christian Artifacts_, published...
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...
Hi Mike, Those are very nice improvements to your Gospel of Thomas online. I am printing pdf's of the plates as needed for reference only. On page 51, there...
Hi Kevin, ... True, but once it got into the hands of someone who knew the value of ancient manuscripts, you'd think that the codices would have been treated...
Hi, Mike - ... I can confirm that the page numbers do not appear on the?first two pages of the gospel in?the picture in Doresse's book, which?was probably...
Hi Kevin, This has been a most interesting and informative discussion for me. Frankly, I'd never given much thought to the page-numbering before you brought it...
Hi, Mike - ... Page numbers are a part of the mechanics of creating a book, just like having a title and having a cover. In more modern books, you may also...
Hi Kevin, As to your string questions, all I know is what the Preface of FE-II says, and what the pictures look like. According to the Preface: "The thongs...
... Hi Mike and Jack, Thanks for pointing me to the additional information regarding pages 32 and 51. And Mike, I remember you have posted about numbers and...
Hi Roger, In answer to your questions, some of the seven tractates of Codex II have symbols similar to those on the last line of GThom, others don't. I don't...
Hi Kevin- ... According to Bentley Layton (critical edition, p.2): "No ancient pagination. ... A modern numbering written on the papyrus between 1949 and 1952*...
Hi, Mike - ... Well, if Bentley Layton says it had no page numbers in antiquity, far be it from me to contradict him. Makes me wonder why, though. Is it...
Hi Kevin, I've been doing more reading today, and I think we can pin down the Arabic pagination to June, 1952. You'll notice that Layton seems unaware that the...
Hi, Mike - I agree with you that the page numbers?were probably created when they photographed the codex. It would have been the first time that?it officially...

... Nope. Almost nothing in this field is incontrovertible. One has to assess the strength of the reasons given for any theory. In this particular case, it...
Hi Kevin - I think Doresse's reasoning is suspect, since I can't imagine what historical evidence there might be that could possibly provide a firm date of 391...
