There are no "rules" for 18th century handwriting. Tselikas is the expert. There are many different ways to write things. He notes correctly the ligatures used by the author. To bring forward a list of "rules" is a joke. Ban Ken for this. This is a joke. A complete lie. Not even ...

Ken should be banned for a week.

It doesn't even require a comment on my part. It is literally nothing more than a denial of shared reality. Whatever "expert(s)" (= Carlson) you consulted shares your delusion not seeing the clear mu there. I've said it before and it got me banned. At least Goranson just repeats old claims...

Deflection. Please you can never accuse anyone at this forum of this "sin." You are the king of deflection at Early Writings since you have only two settings with regards to posting at the forum on the letter. On topic and off topic accusations that Morton Smith did it. Your off topic comm...

My message to Russell Gmirkin. Dear Dr. Gmirkin You misquote me dishonestly in the Early Writings forum. You say I wrote that the Samaritan Joshua is "secondary and very late". This is dishonest misquotation by omission. I said that the MT and THE PRESENT FORM of the Samaritan Joshua are s...

Oh I forgot. Goranson is only a first generation Mar Saba letter commenting bot. He only has two settings. Setting One: making on topic assumptions that the letter is a fake. Setting Two: making off topic assumptions that the letter is fake. Only the next generation Stephen Goranson Mar Saba comment...

If this isn't deflection what is? Did you address his point at all? Sadly this is not at all surprising. Admit he's right. Thanks.
