Re: 'The Poisonous Cup-Bearer' ... 2023 Edition

Come again?
It does not matter whether you believe me or think me to be delusional. Au contraire, it matters bro. Just because someone has a contrary opinion doesn't make them right. Opinions aren't facts . And normal, sane ppl should agree to disagree on trivial matters. What's with "authoress"? Do ...

Re: Bräuninger, cited in Lewy (1929)
Friedrich Bräuninger is cited twice, w/ familiarity, in Hans Lewy's Sobria Ebrietas [1929], p.17 , pp. 79-80 . This provides us some insights toward the German-Jewish scholarship of a very small circle of Classically-trained philologists in Weimar Berlin and Heidelberg, including especially Ludwig a...

Re: «A supernatural being was put to death by other supernatural beings» (P.-L. Couchoud)
But there are other peculiarities. This divine being assumes a human resemblance, appears to be a man, abases himself until death, and dies upon the Cross. What is this Cross?

Dating of Archaeological Sites in Israel (re: mosaics)
