We are still trying to fix the curtain here at the INTF.<br /><br />Timo,<br />The book argues that apparent agreements between the Coptic and Greek can often derive from three sources which have nothing to do with the historic Greek translational source: linguistic equivalence, translation technique and versional transmission. The book considers these issues in the context of the various Coptic translations of John, focusing on the Sahidic. I also discovered a new Coptic translation (in pure Middle Egyptian) and identified some new Fayumic witnesses.<br /><br />If I remember correctly, Tommy's article was interested in the dating of the PPalau Ribes 181-183 which contains Mark-John-Luke in that order. Scholars have dated this MS to the 5th century, although I suggest that their arguments for this early date are problematic. This is an important question, as this manuscript has essentially been thought of as the Codex Sinaiticus of the Coptic world, at least with regard to the gospels.Christian Askelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381441700351009913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-58607137145496302692012-10-16T22:11:38.596+01:002012-10-16T22:11:38.596+01:00Excellent news, Christian!
