The current person working with the collection is also writing a history of how it came to Lund. Unfortunately, she was ill when I was there, so I could't ask her about this and that.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise there are few interesting manuscript in Lund, but Adolf Deissmann gave the university a medieval manuscript of the Apophtegmata Patrum. A colleague of mine is working with his dissertation on the Apophtegmata, and neither he nor his supervisor, who is professor in patristics were aware of the manuscript, until I told them about it. Only a few folios are extant but incidentally two of the particular apophtegmata were already part of his study, and therefore he will include plates and transcriptions of this MS to make the dissertation more pleasant.Tommy Wassermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674769923361035721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-85575490016654742352007-03-09T09:15:00.000+00:002007-03-09T09:15:00.000+00:00Any Coptic material?Any Coptic material?P.J.

Practically everything we write here is in English, otherwise we would not have many readers ... <BR/><BR/>Holmberg's paper is actually the very first rough draft to the introductory chapter in a volume in which all the participants in a major research project will write a chapter, summing up there results and being a bit bolder than in their respective monographs. You can read about the project at:<BR/><BR/>http://www.teol.lu.se/nt/identitet/eng.html<BR/><BR/>"I've been gathering material in preparation for a project on the same general subject--and also along the lines of an examination of Ehrman's thesis that your proposal suggests."<BR/><BR/>Sounds as if we should discuss this further.Tommy Wassermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674769923361035721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-65360865458359852072007-03-08T20:43:00.000+00:002007-03-08T20:43:00.000+00:00Tommy,Re: "a paper by professor Bengt Holmberg on ...Tommy,<BR/><BR/>Re: "a paper by professor Bengt Holmberg on Bauer's thesis with the title "Did Heresy Emerge before Orthodoxy?

I've been gathering material in preparation for a project on the same general subject--and also along the lines of an examination of Ehrman's thesis that your proposal suggests.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>Rod DeckerRod Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521333817382327983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-86976528625305995272007-03-08T20:21:00.000+00:002007-03-08T20:21:00.000+00:00PH:"the absence of nomina sacra is no proof of the...PH:"the absence of nomina sacra is no proof of the absence of any Christian literature (it is just an easy first level sorting device)."<BR/><BR/>Yes, and I am making use of that sorting device when I go through the material for the first time. Unfortunately, those items I have seen thus far have been fragmentary and in very bad shape. It takes a lot of skill to work with them. Perhaps I will try with some items if I have time. Anyway, I will go through the whole lot once, and we will see.<BR/><BR/>In regard to new discoveries, those defintely involve Greek New Testament MSS.Tommy Wassermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674769923361035721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-33780847464941447952007-03-08T16:31:00.000+00:002007-03-08T16:31:00.000+00:00Hi Tommy,Congratulations on finishing the PhD prog...Hi Tommy,<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on finishing the PhD programme.<BR/><BR/>Re the Lund Papyri: the absence of nomina sacra is no proof of the absence of any Christian literature (it is just an easy first level sorting device). Probably there are loads of biblical and early Christian manuscripts in various libraries which just happen to lack divine names in the extant portion.<BR/><BR/>Anyway I look forward to the new discoveries.<BR/><BR/>PetePeter M.
