Second National Patristic Conference in Cambridge

2
The Second National Patristic Conference is taking place in Cambridge next week (SECOND NATIONAL PATRISTIC CONFERENCE), Wed - Fri (9-11 Sept.)

As well as a load of interesting patristic type papers (as one must expect, including an especially interesting one on 1 Clement) there are a couple of text related papers, and a couple of others on non-canonical texts:


Tim Carter Marcion and the Codex Bezae

Hugh Houghton Chapter Divisions in the Old Latin Versions of John

Stephan Witetschek How Ascetic is the Gospel of Thomas?

Michael Steenberg The Gospel of Truth and the Truth of the Gospel: assessing the scope of Valentinian influence on the works of Irenaeus

  1. I'm actually interested in hearing more about the 1 Clement article. It's called: "‘Witnesses between you and us’: the role of the letter-carriers in 1 Clement".

  2. I would like to hear more on "Marcion and the Codex Bezae".
    It is noteworthy that the striking, special readings of D in Luke only start in ch. 3. Marcion's Gospel lacked chapters 1-2. Several D-readings are supported by Marcion. Also some readings are supported by Tatian's Diatessaron. Since both, Marcion and Tatian, probably used some kind of Western text it is difficult to distinguish them. Nevertheless it can be said that possibly some readings of D come from Marcion and/or Tatian.
    Difficult, but interesting topic.
