It might not be a bad idea if someone here who knows Latin well would sift through the six-page dedication at the beginning of Lectionary 117. In the closing...
Steven, thanks for the reply. At the moment I AM interested in all mss, whether papyrus, uncials, etc., in all languages. This is because I'm interested (among...
Apologies to anyone who has seen this request on another list: Could someone help me with some Latin from Tertullian, Adv. Marcion IV. He is commenting on...

Aufer is an imperative, meaning "remove!" or "expunge!" The second translation renders aufer with an English imperative39; no problems. I think the first...
Tim, thank you. I spent most of my morning (well, 2 hours at least) reading through your methodology and the results. It's amazing stuff, and must have taken a...

Stephen, thank you for the reply. I understand the point, but it seems that it could still perhaps be (loosely!) translated as follows: "Yeah Marcion, so,...
... Greetings, David -- I know you have already interacted with Stephen on this. Here is a "literal" translation of the Latin as it stands above: As it is...
Hello senoir colleagues, I have read from a couple of sources that it is likely that the same scribe who copied manuscript Vaticanus also copied manuscript...
Thank to those who replied to my previous question. This time it's Tertullian (again) in Adv. Marcion IV, chapter 35, discussing the 'many lepers in Israel'...
... First, you should be a aware that neither the Vaticanus nor the Sinaiticus are the product of a single scribe. I suggest David Parker's book on the...

George, If Eusebius is the architect behind these 2 manuscripts then we should be able to compare and see the similarities of text types between MS Sinaiticus/...

Hi Mike again, The information that I passed on to you is "non-blatant"; i.e., it is not conspicuous in the ancient records. If it was, it would be common...
Mike Karoules, I hope you're hungry. As we approach the question of whether or not Sinaiticus and Vaticanus share a copyist, another question should be asked...
