Cool stuff. \u00a0The Book of Kells is one of the treasures of Ireland, and in fact of the literary world. \u00a0Now it\u2019s online<\/a>. \u00a0You can go directly to the online display here<\/a>. \u00a0Ah, I love ancient manuscripts. \u00a0I studied biblical Greek in seminary and took extra seminars and classes on the\u00a0development\u00a0of the Greek New Testament. \u00a0Bruce Metzger was my main source of\u00a0inspiration,\u00a0 and I used to spend hours poring over the tables and some of the actual manuscripts we had in our school\u2019s biblical museum. \u00a0I was always partial to Greek uncial script, and at one time had quite the set of resources for meandering through the Greek texts. \u00a0I also loved\u00a0cataloging\u00a0the chronology of the parchment fragments and manuscripts currently in our\u00a0possession\u00a0 \u00a0 I was never adept enough to just whip out a Greek text and read with the ease of an English version, but I wasn\u2019t bad with a lexicon nearby.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to have the ability to read the Latin in the same way. \u00a0Right now, I can\u2019t imagine learning it if there\u2019s not going to be a reason. \u00a0But someday, down the\u00a0road\u00a0 you never know. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
