A thousand pages of Discussion Content

Post by mlinssen »

Those who frequent my Academia.edu profile may be familiar with the Discussions there; I have had 10 on my papers, and have published every single one of them as separate paper. There are 10 more days to go for the latest Discussion but it's run its course and the combined total count now sits at 993 pages

In general, a lot of the content will be by me; I use a Discussion to answer questions and also to ask questions myself, and I always continue the research in the corresponding paper. In general a Discussion Content will contain an awful lot of Open Access links, and also disclose existing sources such as e.g. the Testimonium Flavianum:

The earliest surviving Greek manuscript that contains the Testimonium Flavi(an)um is the
11th century Ambrosianus 370 (F 128), preserved in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan,
which includes almost all of the second half of the Antiquities

Diplomatic Transcription:

Γίνεται δὲ κατὰ τοῦτον τὸν χρόνο(ν)
Ἰησοῦς σοφὸς ἀνήρ, εἴγε ἄνδρα αὐτὸν λέγειν χρή: ἦν γὰρ
παραδόξων ἔργων ποιητής, διδάσκαλος ἀνθρώπω(ν)
τῶν ἡδονῇ τἀληθῆ δεχομένων, καὶ πολλοὺς μὲν Ἰουδαίους,
-----
πολλοὺς δὲ καὶ τοῦ Ἑλληνικοῦ ἐπηγάγετο: ὁ χς οὗτος
ἦν. [64] καὶ αὐτὸν ἐνδείξει τῶν πρώτων ἀνδρῶν παρ᾽ ἡμῖν
σταυρῷ ἐπιτετιμηκότος Πιλάτου οὐκ ἐπαύσαντο
οἱ τὸ πρῶτον ἀγαπήσαντες: ἐφάνη γὰρ αὐτοῖς τρίτην
ἔχων ἡμέραν πάλιν ζῶν τῶν θείων προφητῶν ταῦτά
τε καὶ ἄλλα μυρία περὶ αὐτοῦ θαυμάσια εἰρηκότων.
εἰς ἔτι τε νῦν τῶν Χριστιανῶν ἀπὸ τοῦδε ὠνομασμένον οὐκ ἐπέλιπε τὸ φῦλον

  • Kingdom of the Heavens: translator trauma? - Discussion content
  • The Gospels testify: did Jesus die on the cross? - Discussion content
  • The Jesus of the Gospel of Thomas - Discussion content
Naturally, one may think that it is predominantly about Thomas - but almost all of it is about my distractions such as Chrestianity, NHL research, the alleged nomina sacra, and one or two NT issues such as the alleged cross, as well as the persistent and incessant falsification of its translation.
It's all for free guys and girls, and not only does it present a giant amount of data, it also discloses where that data is from - and in every single case that data is publicly accessible and available for free

So enjoy
