Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

No apology for claiming Smith hurt me.
On to the next false claim?
Consider the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Do different monks claim different ownership to portions and times?

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

There is no evidence the book was in Mar Saba before 1958. It does not appear in the books catalogs there--
as has been noted,
repeatedly.

No, I mentioned Ben C. Smith as one indication why most scholars would not come or stay here.

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

Obviously one need not have seen the document before 1958 to think it legit. Like, say, you.
You are a faster typist than I am. Do you just hope to wear people down?

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

Seraphim, iiuc, was merely claiming the Voss book as Mar Saba properly, finders keepers.

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

Seraphim, as far as I have read, did not claim to have seen the document before 1958.

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

Of course some claims of expertise are bogus. Being an engineer or a content provider or a computer coder or a history "tidier" or self-proclaimed story expert may not count for much when declaring here what's what. Today I tried again explicitly to acknowledge that A. T.'s report ranged f...

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"

And that is your prerogative.

What I attempted to do in this thread is to separate two questions:
1) the date of the Voss hand, modern according to A. T.
and
2) who did that.
Maybe I have failed to make that distinction, with some.
