This is Appendix A: Paleographical Peculiarities from Morton Smith, Clement of Alexandria and a Secret Gospel of Mark (Harvard, 1973) in which Smith lists the abbreviations and ligatures he found in the manuscript. M. Smith - Clement of Alexandria - Paleographic Peculiarities p. 293.png I think that...

FWIW my go-to greek guy (a greek historian I'm facebook friended with) says without reservation that the two words are γυμνοί γυμνώ Yeah I know, random guy on the internet quoting random guy on the internet, discount accordingly. Yes, if you've found this person reliable in the past this might give...

A cursory glance though Mark, by a layman, would seem to indicate that Mark used "gospel" much like Paul does. But when Mark uses it, it can't be a written text! It seems to me that the theory that Mark 1.1 used the word εὐαγγέλιον ('good news') in sense very much like Paul does, but that...

I'm not sure if that would strictly qualify as Fatigue, Personally, I never notice these things, but if somebody points them out to me, they are usually very glaring, and if you got 10 people to look at it, probably all 10 would agree there was an error in editing. Yes, the first difficulty is esta...

I think that " doubtless " in the Jesus's answer is a strong clue pointing to an explanation found inside the story itself of the gospel of Luke, not assumed a priori external to that gospel (i.e. possibly in Mark). " Doubtless " in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to c...

Still, if 4:14 is the antecedent, it refers to power in a lot of places--all over Galilee, and the surrounding areas. When Jesus says "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’ ” -- how can Jesu...

The text of the Evangelion would seem to be too uncertain for [the technique of fatigue to be applicable] There might be one example of where fatigue would be applicable. Exact wording is for the most part hard to nail down, but the order of events is a bit more tractable. And in the instant case T...

Paul apparently used the term “gospel” ~60 times. He is said to use the possessive, “my/our gospel,” six times (one of which is in the pastoral 2 Tim. 2:8). He uses the definitive, “the gospel”, ~27 times. In addition, he uses terms such as “ the gospel of Christ ” (eg. Rom. 15:19) and “ gospel of ...

Thanks for sharing the additional images and asking questions on the subject of ligatures. I'm not able to comment on the ligature subject without further study. I'm okay with bracketing the ligature stuff and the accent stuff as beyond my paygrade currently and inconclusive, respectively. I am not...

I'm not wanting to dispense with the theory of fatigue at all, it's simple. We get a list of the examples of fatigue Then someone explains how they best show Markan priority which Goodacre has done Agreed. Then someone else explains how they best show Evangelion/Lukan priority Not agreed. First, it...
