The Pericope Adulterae and the Gospel of Thomas. An eleventh century manuscript of the Gospels features a curious marginal reference to the Gospel of Thomas. To my knowledge, this reference is rarely mentioned in scholarship (please correct me if I’m wrong!).

A copy of a rhythmed Gospels translation, endowed to the royal library of the Mamluk Sultan Al-Mansur Fakhr ad-Din. The manuscript is dated to the 16th century. But this Sultan ruled Egypt in the mid-15th century. So, the dating is inaccurate. the Translation from Syriac was done in 1299 CE.

If you have a problem with bookworms ruining, I found a solution for you in an inscription on a medieval four-Gospel MS: O Kabīkaj, O Kabīkaj, O Kabīkaj, shut your nibbling mouth … away from this book. Asher Ehyeh, Adonai, Lord of Hosts, El Shaddai.

A wonderful project showing how a manuscript is not just a document with some information, dumped somewhere in a museum or a library. It is part of the living ecosystem of a community.

Planning to write this manuscript curse on my office kitchen mug. لعن الله سارقه لعنةً لا تفارقه ساكنة في خوافقه أينما سار ترافقه May God curse its thief With a curse that never leaves him, Dwelling deep within his beating heart, Accompanying him wherever he goes.

A Medieval Coptic translator was confronted with a dilemma: the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is not attested in his exemplar. He visited archives in Cairo & Damascus to collect its versions in Coptic, Syriac, Greek, &Arabic. what did he find? Join his facinating journey in this new article

A great piece on my PhD research was just published on ACU Impact (www.impact.acu.edu.au/global/from-...)! Menios Constantinou was a fantastic interviewer, and he made an engaging story from my responses. The piece gives an accessible summary of how I use Bayesian phylogenetics for text-criticism.

One of these lovely moments when you see a personal reflection made by the scribe on the text. In the colophon of one 4-Gospel manuscript, the Melkite scribe says that he made the copy from an Egyptian exemplar, because Copts have translations that "have no parallel in their quality" [1/2]

Today I saw a 4-Gospel manuscript in Arabic. It is relatively late from the 18th century Antioch. What I found interesting, and I don't have an explanation for, is that the liturgical Gospel proclamation "this is a chapter of the Holy Gospel ...etc." is in Ottoman Turkish. why?

Don't miss it TOMORROW, Friday, March 6, 12pm EST: this month's First Fridays Workshop with @jeremiahcoogan.bsky.social, who will present a paper titled "Uses and Abuses of the Gospel(s) according to the Hebrews."

This is a very interesting experiment done by our lab colleague Henrik Andersen, on how the AI and computational tools might analyse the Gospels differently,.
