Re: The X-Files: Chrēstos / Christos / Χρειστος

Re: the black hole of Sinaiticus scholarship due to the faux consensus date

"Sinaiticus scholarship," if you are familiar with it, misled many scholars, precisely in your view, how? The main problem was that it quickly had an established date of 4th century, without examining the manuscript. This led to scholars unable to consider what would be more reasonable te...

Re: KJV Tampering as a precursor to Sinaiaticus Fraud

That note from Nazaroo does not apply to the Sinaiticus homoeoteleutons under examination.

Re: A Vatican-Jesuit conspiracy involved with Sinaiticus:the S&H+V con job

Fascinating - I didn't know that. If you have a citation for that it would be be a most welcome addition. because it buttresses ebion's theory. If you look at Simonides letter to the Guardian he's much more gracious than he could have been. The idea of covering for the monastery's cooperation with ...

homoeoteleutons - independent, accidental, coincidenal

homoeoteleuton is a type of error that is particularly likely to occur independently. Andrew Criddle btw, Andrew, I think I do understand your point. If there is one homoeoeleuton that matches between two manuscripts, yes, that could be just an accidental quirk, that the formatting and line lengths...

homoeoteleuton - rarely are there extant source-target manuscripts

homoeoteleuton is a type of error that is particularly likely to occur independently. Andrew Criddle Hi Andrew, It is very rare that we have extant source and target manuscripts that match for a particular homoeoteleuton. Yet Claromontanus has four that are extremely well documented, where the form...

worthless posting

The fellow who tried to shill for Wasserman, often vulgar, does not even understand that homoeoteleuton is a one-way phenomenon. Source—>Target. He argued that Siniticus could have been the Source ms. and Claromontanus the target.

So his posting is skewed and worthless.

Tommy Wasserman hand-wave attempt

For example, a fine textual scholar, Tommy Wasserman, already responded to and countered your apparently misleading characterization, assuming he was accurately quoted, in this very forum, BC&HF. And you replied there the next day. So, unless you forgot, what you wrote above is quite false. Do ...
