Our project data scientist Henrik Andersen on starting the construction of our VRE prototype.

You can almost always find unexpected things in manuscripts. Today: an Ethiopian scribe trying his hand on a Greek note in an Arabic manuscript (Sin. ar. 506). It's not only the shape of some letters, or the use of textual dividers, but esp. the sneakily inserted word ቀሌምኮስ that gives him away.

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

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.
