Re: TF language issues

This is an image of the Testimonium from Codex Ambrosianus (usually called Manuscript M for Milan), the earliest Greek manuscript (11th century) containing the relevant section of Book XVIII of the Antiquities. Testimonium Flavianum from Codex Ambrosianus (M) - Robert Eisler - The Messiah Jesus and...

TF language issues

I created a list of various language issues noted about the Testimonium Flavianum from the following works for my own needs, ordering them as seen below, and I thought it might be of some use for forum members. Texts used, preceded by letters used in the comments section below that indicate the sour...

Re: Tacitus an Interpolation: Detering Argument

(whether it facilitated or was facilitated by a concurrent move from Xρηστός to Χριστός would be both interesting to know and hard to know) You are aware that there are examples of iota > epsilon-iota, can you supply new testament lexical examples to support your assertion of a "move from Xρησ...

Does Hochart know anything about Boccaccio having had possession of M.II seventy odd years before Bracciolini? :scratch:

Re: Tacitus an Interpolation: Detering Argument

And the earliest copy of Acts 26:28 is in Sinaiticus and is clearly XPHCTIANON ... And here is Acts 11:26 in Sinaiticus also clearly XPHCTIANOY ... So really, the only evidence for Christian for XC is 1 Peter 4:16 in p72 all other examples are either nomina sacra or Chrestian. The information above...

Re: If even Tacitus didn't mention Pilate in connection with Jesus...

It seems obvious that one of the writer borrowed from the other. I was arguing that the TT was dependent on Severus. If SS was really independant from Tacitus, we should explain where does SS take his information about Neron being in Atium when the burning begin ? To my knowledge, it was only menti...

Lombard characters are Beneventan script from the Duchy of Benevento (founded by the Lombards), where the script was developed. (See here for an understanding, PDF.)

Also see here on Sulpicius Severus and Tacitus.

Re: If even Tacitus didn't mention Pilate in connection with Jesus...

The only manuscript of Sulpicius Severus containing the burning and persecution has been discovered by the same guy who discovered the manuscripts of Tacitus : Poggio Bracciolini. Book hunters obtained (usually) ancient works. Zanobi da Strada procured a copy of Varro's De lingua latina for Boccacc...

Re: If even Tacitus didn't mention Pilate in connection with Jesus...

The fire discourse ends at 15.44.2a. The fire narrative proper ends at 15.40.2, after which we learn about the events dealing with the results of the fire, the human effort, the financial outlay and the propitiatory acts. These are summarised in 15.44.2a with "all human efforts, all the lavish ...
