After years of research and work, documenting spelling variants in ≈4500 inscriptions & papyri, I'm excited to see these two books coming!

Big one is about 900 pages so you get ALL data & analysis

Short one is 144 pages for a concise pedagogical guide

@Athelbelios @drjohnmeade I think there is actually evidence that can be interpreted to indicate that Jerome knew Hebrew fairly well for a learner.

“The Forerunners and Heirs of Origen’s Hexapla” has been published! It is available in Open Access.

I’m grateful to collaborate with brilliant contributors in this cross disciplinary endeavor.

I have more to say about this volume at a later date.

A nice ancient Greek idiom:

λελέχθω ‘let it have been said!'

to mean something like ...

‘that's enough about that’

@levihmoore @nemessmer @biblingoapp No worries at all :) In any case, this whole discussion does touch on an interesting point in terms of describing sounds without audio examples and how much we can expect of beginning language learners. There are definitely pros and cons to every approach.

[KoineGreek.com @KoineGreekcom]

@levihmoore @nemessmer @biblingoapp I did do my best, alongside the IPA transcriptions, to use more "colloquial" non-IPA explanations of each sound in the Short Guide (comparing it to English or even Spanish sounds) to the degree that you can do so without being inaccurate.

for example:

@JackVoigt14 Made the list!

Sometimes you *can* judge a book by its cover.

If you look closely, the broad findings and conclusions of my new book (https://t.co/D2nEG30lhn) are actually all visible on the graphic of the cover:

What is the plural of Ph.D.?

@cjfresch Also quite cool here is the note in LXX manuscript(s), possibly from a patristic source:

το κατεφιλησεν αυτον οπερ εστιν εβραιστι ουεσσακη εν παντι εβραικω βιβλιω περιεστικται

'he kissed him', which in Hebrew is uessakē, in every Hebrew book/scroll is dotted-all-around

@jtauber @charles_loder @jackhardison Yes, it still needs some work, but https://t.co/BnCelmsv4J is where you can test it.
