Is there an updated (and hopefully more accessible) guide to the differences between Attic and Biblical/Koine Greek than Zerwick's Biblical Greek? Ideally a book that assumes you already know classical Greek but explains the distinctives of the Greek of the NT?

Anyone know where the manuscripts from the Aggsbach Kartause (Austria) ended up?

My (free) website for learning to read from Greek manuscripts is available. Still some tweaks to be made but it’s ready with 12 lessons, tips and hints, downloadable reports if you use it for a class, and links to lots of resources. Please share and give feedback! xeirographa.com

Excited to share that I've accepted a continuing position as a Research Fellow at Australian Catholic University's Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry. We're moving to Melbourne!

A feast of medieval Bibles at Newberry Library today. One copy of Laodiceans and one trace of Laodiceans in a table of contents.

I'm writing a textbook for the study of medieval manuscripts in the 21st century & am developing a framework that will be referenced throughout the book: ten touchpoints for medieval book history in Europe with six drivers of change. Here's how it will play out... (image: Codex Amiatinus) 🧵

Another six medieval Bibles at the Houghton Library today... and not a single copy of Laodiceans. But here's a Latin New Testament unlike any I've ever seen.

Searched through six Latin Bibles at Harvard's Houghton Library today and turned up two copies of Laodiceans! Delighted to be joined by my undergraduate research assistant (pictured) from Hamilton College.

Boston-bound train from central New York. See you soon, religion nerds. #SBLAAR Also I got a prescription at thirty-four years old.

If you're interested in the long life of Paul's Epistle to the Laodiceans, I'm presenting some of my research at UMass Amherst. Open to the public!

Thank you @iannelsonmills.bsky.social for agreeing to present on your research for my early Christianity class. We got a big lecture hall and made the lecture open to the public. Haec Epistula Non est Pauli 10/28/2025, 11:30 AM, 65 Bartlett Hall 130 Hicks Way, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003

I'll try not to take it personally.

NASSCAL's October First Friday workshop will feature Ian Mills, with his paper "Canonizing Paul's Epistle to the Laodiceans." See the poster below for details on how to join.

Is there a technical name for this kind of string of dots?

The best part of waking up is, in fact, new manuscripts in your inbox—especially when they happen to contain unique and hitherto unrecognized paratexts.

Fascinating header to Laodiceans, tucked in the back of a thirteenth century Bible.

My latest article on John has finally been published (it was preprint for a while). OUP sent me a free-access link, so if you're interested in the paper, please message/email me! academic.oup.com/jts/article-...

New article on a Syro-Latin reading in Luke coming soon to New Testament Studies.

Chilling this morning with some Oxyrhinchus Papyri.

One of my favorite manuscript discoveries: This Latin Bible contains a "Second Epistle to the Colossians." Ep(istu)la Pauli ad Colocenses. S(e)c(un)da.

Sometimes you have to puzzle over marginalia to figure out what a copyist or reader thought about your text. And sometimes things are a little more clear. Hoc ep(istu)la n(on) e(st) Pauli "This Epistle is not by Paul" Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 5

Any guesses what the two letters at the end of this title mean? 14th century Latin Bible.

Finishing up an article enroute to Acadia. Oliver is loving New Hampshire!

PSA: You don't have to convince yourself there's no first century to care about the second century.

I need something to read on lectionary notes in medieval/Latin manuscripts. Can anyone give me a recommendation or three?

It turns out that a lot of manuscripts of Laodiceans have moved since one German scholar tried to track them down in 1893. Must have been a busy 130 years.

Anyone heard anything yet about the publication of our Oxford Patristics papers?

Want to hear about the Greek manuscript of Paul's (Apocryphal) Epistle to Laodiceans in Glasgow? Here's Glasgow, GB 247 MS Hunter 493 (V.7.20). It's a 12/13th century Latin Bible from France. Chunky.
