Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
Because of which characters are represented in ligature form (ος) and which are not, we can discard the suggestions that the ligature used in the text is -μενος or "-νος," and we can understand Tselikas more correctly as organizing different illustrative examples alphabetically that he de...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
Have you ever tried learning calligraphy with a dip pen? No, I haven't. 6. I need to get better at not jumping to conclusions..... :-( I was hoping that we could use some image processing techniques to disambiguate this gymnastic blob--but we just don't have to data to resolve this issue via lookin...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
Other arguments are that I think there is a slight indentation as Ken Olson said Take a look at Smith's Black and white photoes--the indentation is not apparent. Also, zoom in on the HIGH RES unprocessed gymnastic character--you'll see that where the "indentation" is is very much lighter ...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
I was inspired by Peter Kirby's set of iotas and did a set for sigmas. These are not all sigmas but only those that I find somewhat similar to the gymnastic character (40 = III.13 γυµνὸς/γυµνοὶ): sigmas.jpg 1 = I.1 Κλήµεντος 2 = I.5 εἰς 3 = I.12 παντελῶς 4 = I.16 πράξεις 5 = I.18 πίστεως 6 = I.19 εἰ...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
For the purpose of apples-to-apples comparison, I have sent you a Google drive link with the (circa 300MB each) bitmap files of all three pages. I have additionally sent the same invitation link to Ken Olson, Andrew Criddle, and Adam Kvanta. Thanks, much appreciated! Tselikas performed a detailed s...

Re: Who's death Jos. blamed for city's destruction
There is a relation to the NT: Matthew 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias , whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Interesting post. Btw, I saw this on Wikipedia : The Gospel...

Re: Comments on Handwriting Analysis and the Mar Saba Letter
I may be misunderstanding Tselikas but IIUC although in the word τοῦ the omicron and the upsilon are written as ligature and apparently continuous with the circumflex, the stroke is done in the wrong direction. Right to left not left to right. (This is how I understand the passage from Tselikas ῦ w...

Re: 1715 Clement edition
Though he knew of the movement of many materials to Jerusalem. Thanks for correcting me, I was presuming wrongly. There was indeed a transfer of manuscripts from Mar Saba to Jerusalem in 1865. Morton Smith wrote: The manuscripts of Mar Saba proved, on examination, to be mostly modern. This was no s...

Re: 1715 Clement edition
I want to address one more ambiguous text from A.T.'s report. It is connected to the question of whether in 1887 the Clement edition was sent from Jerusalem to Mar Saba or from Mar Saba to Jerusalem: It is worth noting that all the manuscripts of the monastery , except for a few modern and historica...
