Still reading the Septuagint. It's rather long, I've noticed. Tom Send a noteboard - 02/12/2013 05:20:07 PM

I'm now into Παραλειπομενων Α', and I can say that it's fascinating. The sound is so close to the Greek New Testament...I am thinking that I'll have to read that all the way through upon completion of the Septuagint and just soak in the sense of continuity that is lacking in other versions.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

1000 years ago this month, England fell to Sweyn Forkbeard. What were they reading then? And now? - 02/12/2013 08:43:21 AM 636 Views
