Very nice—with a good representation of bloggers. I think that the Frenschkowski article looks particularly interesting.
ReplyDeleteIs Mike Holmes really suggesting that it might be useful to think of P46 as something other than a biblical ms?

Thanks James,
ReplyDeleteI've fixed the link now.
If dynamic links expire, what do you call the links that live on?

PJW asked: 'Is Mike Holmes really suggesting that it might be useful to think of P46 as something other than a biblical ms?'
ReplyDeleteNot as 'something other', but as something else in addition to being a witness to the original text. And specifically (and interestingly since we've discussed these before) the readings which P46 shares with DFG, which (in Mike's words) suggest an active clarification or explanation of the text.
If it is convincing to think of this combination of witnesses as giving access to a clarifying form of the text then it is reasonable to relate this to early commentaries. It will also be more difficult to argue that this combination of witnesses in other places reflects the original text (as e.g. in Gal 2.20 discussed on this blog before).
But I haven't time to read it right now as I have a pile of exams to read and I have to give an account of myself today to the Council.
Peter,
ReplyDeleteFunny :)
Actually, there are Static links on every page. Would that our site design were different...
