Re: KJV Tampering as a precursor to Sinaiaticus Fraud
Sometimes the consensus is right. The consensus was built on hiding the manuscript. Once it was achieved, it becomes "deeply entrenched" scholarship, with inertia, momentum and scholastic stagnation. Even in late 1861, the German Oriental Society was planning to really look at the pages, ...

Re: Was Papias' source Aristion identical with Ariston of Pella?
Years ago, I wrote a paper affirming that there was a flight to Pella from Jerusalem in the 60s; that too has been disputed. If so, then Ariston of Pella likely heard from earlier Christians. (It's also disputed whether Ariston of Pella wrote Dialogue of Jason and Papiscus, though in presenting a n...

Re: Early Christian Ebionaen Canon
To summarize, if the POxy text is very close to Sinaiticus (correction, the Bryennius Didache), that really closes the issue of authentic its. Sometimes such claims are overstated or simply false. That happened with a James White claim about papyri and Sinaiticus. He repeatedly claimed in the debat...

the Didache [of Bryennius] confirmed by POxy fragments
PS: What was the time delay/excuse/narrative by Bryennius justifying the later appreance/discovery/waiting-for-the-ink-to-dry of the Didache? It was a couple of years at least was it not? Are there any descriptions of the physical state of the manuscript? And of course, as always, has it been AMS C...

Re: The Didache [of Bryennius] is not an original work
Hoole's conclusion is very clear: It does sound like Hoole was very close to accusing Bryennius of a forgery here. Your extracts are good. Although a later one seems to accept authenticity. "the Didache discovered by Bryennius, which was no doubt the same as that mentioned by Nicephoros in the...

the 1711 Whiston work from Arabic manuscripts
Unlike Tischenduper and Bryennius, I trust Whiston, so I'll go back to his Apostolic Constitutions, but maybe I'll avoid the version "improved" by Donaldson. But we still don't know what manuscript Whiston was working from, although he includes the greek that he translated in his book. Un...

Re: KJV Tampering as a precursor to Sinaiaticus Fraud
Then, if you able to think as a historian or journalist — Why would anyone make the colouring accusation —- unless it was seen and was true! If it was false, it could be immediately refuted. “Look, see the manuscript, there was no yellowing of the Russian leaves, they are identical to the pale white...
