I'm tired of seeing the guy's name pop up everywhere and suspect he has a well-oiled internet machine pushing his schtick. Here is his thesis: Carrier received a PhD in ancient history from Columbia University in 2008: his thesis was entitled 'Attitudes towards the natural philosopher in the Early ...

We need a LOT of early manuscripts to nail things down. Slightly OT- I wish a few billionaires looking for something to do with their money would pool resources and excavate the rest of Herculaneum. It was a upper-class town with most likely more than a few private libraries. Some might have escape...
