Re: AI and the Vatican Archive
I think there is a fragment of Agrippa's work against Basilides in the British Library. It's never been translated. I saw it referenced or itemized on a list of untranslated fragments at Roger's site. Ben, if you're interested why not tackle it?

Roger complains that it is not online, so I would have no access to it. I live nowhere near the UK.Secret Alias wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 6:22 am I think there is a fragment of Agrippa's work against Basilides in the British Library. It's never been translated.

I could get it. I am always bumping into Trobisch. The most recent time was when I took my son to Oklahoma City in April. I will ask him.

Re: AI and the Vatican Archive
If you can get it for me, I promise to look it over. No promises as to what happens after that (some of which would depend on the handwriting, since I am not exactly an expert in that, and most of what I have translated in the past has come from a printed text).

Sorry...Would you like to buy an 8 X 10 glossy photo of our current Marxist Pope instead?"
Wake me up when the Original Mark gets brought out for inspection.
And Papias. And Justus of Tiberias. And the histories of Claudius.
And the missing sections of Tacitus.

Re: AI and the Vatican Archive
This reminds me of Scott Brown's discussion of the meaning of μυστήριον in the Letter to Theodore (of course involving different languages)Pace Dan Brown, the “secret” in the Vatican Secret Archives’ name doesn’t refer to anything clandestine or conspiratorial. It merely means that the archives are the personal property of the pope; “private archives” would probably be a better translation of the original name, Archivum Secretum.
