Some old links on epigraphy, paleography, etc.

Post by Peter Kirby »

I have removed this stuff from the "Useful Links" sticky because it was cluttering that valuable, highly visible space.

Also, a lot of the links are dead anyway.

I'm reproducing it here for the record.


Here are some links regarding paleography, epigraphy, and archaeology with respect to Christianity in the first four centuries AD.

1. Paleography and Papyrology
