Re: The Greek Text of Against Heresies Survived Until the 16th Century
https://www.tertullian.org/articles/zahn_irenaeus_eng.htm There are a number of lists of books, supposedly preserved in libraries in the early modern period. I faintly recall that all of these are fakes, again from that period. The theory is that they were produced by book dealers to entice western...

Thank you! I couldn't recall.

Re: Dave Allen: an analysis
Hi Andrew,
I have no view on that - sorry. I merely didn't want to include Jerome in that general statement about later Greek versions.

Re: New podcast advocating a 2nd century beginning for Christianity
Will he also go with the idea that Jesus was not Jewish? After all, escaping from "Jesus the Jew" seems to be a strangely common outcome of much of the late 19th century German theories of this sort.

Re: Dave Allen: an analysis
The webpage mentions an English translation of Meshchersky's study. What is the English title of this work? Translator? I have been unable to locate it by keyword searching in worldcat.org H. Leeming &c "Josephus' Jewish War and Its Slavonic Version: A Synoptic Comparison": 46 (Arbeit...

Re: Dave Allen: an analysis
I am deeply dubious that any text of the TF survives that has *not* been influenced by the Eusebian version (with the obvious exception of Jerome's Latin version). All very flaky. Why do you make an exception of Jerome's Latin version of the Testimonium in De Viris Illustribus 13? Late Greek versio...

Re: Dave Allen: an analysis
I will take the somewhat unusual step of agreeing with Roger on something to do with the Testimonium. In his mammoth study of the Slavonic Josephus, N.A. Meschersky's argued that work was composed by drawing out the material related to Josephus from the older and larger Slavonic Chronography, which...

Re: Dave Allen: an analysis
I had thought the Old Slavonic "Josephus" was now definitely dead, as a source of truth about the TF, once the work was properly published and plainly an original medieval composition drawing on Malalas etc.

Re: Placement of the Gospels by the editor
The high capacity parchment codex is invented perhaps around 300. Would a papyrus codex be large enough to contain all four gospels? I cannot recall if we have any examples.

Re: The Ploughman's Lunch fallacy.
I like the idea of calling this "the Ploughman's Lunch fallacy"! I had to point out to someone on twitter on the other day that some text was the first *surviving* gospel commentary; not necessarily or even probably the first one.
