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.

Beware of Cum hoc ergo propter hoc.

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...

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 ...

Your hypothesis about the french scribe is interesting too. Im french and effectively, we spell christians : «chrEtiens», not chritiens. Not in circa 1150 though. The vowel, yes, but the /s/ hadn't been lost. At least that's what I understand from Chretien de Troyes, according to this (see bottom, ...

There are two possible explanations for the appearance of the corrected Christianos/Chrestianos in the Beneventan copy that contains Ann.15.44 (Medicee II): 1. Chrestianos was in the source text and the copyist decided to "correct the error". 2. Christianos was in the source text, but a F...

I just find it the most parsimonious answer to the issue, and explains a lot of the problems with the text, including the Chrestian/Christ interplay (common mistake due to phonology),...

It is only wishful thinking of Markan priorists to do so.

Very telling.

Now for the Lukan source: (table omitted) Luke is working from Mark and improving his source. No, Luke is not dependant on Mark here, but both of them depend on a skeletal cena and on the interpolation 1 Cor 11:23-26. The highllighted verbal allusions suggest otherwise. The table is eclatantly inco...

Luke's account is by no means derived from Mark's, as Markan priorists try to force us to believe, but from an older skeletal account with no bread breaking included and with only an eschatological cup (as opposed to the cup of the covenant). Only the interpolation of 1 Cor 11 : 23-26 forced the go...

The only material to suggest Jesus was known before Paul are two interpolations, one based on the Lucan last supper in 1 Cor 11:23-27 What is the evidence for interpolation here? 23b-25 is derived from Luke which is derived from Mark. But I've argued here years ago that it's interpolated. One of th...
