Translation Quiz (This is not something for which you can study. You will be asked to translate two brief [a verse or two] passages--one from Mark and one other.)
Index of -greeklatinaudio-greek-mark - We have been learning the Erasmian Greek pronunciation which is a completely artificial system. Based on linguistic research (e.g., noting the spelling confusions as we saw in looking at Codex W) the file at this site are spoken much more as they might have been in the 1st century CE. For 1 John files and a description of the pronunciation system go to: Biblical Language Center.

For 4/22

NOTE: NO VOCAB QUIZ
Read Mark 9
Since we had such fun with Codex W (that is, our poor substitute for the real thing), we decided to continue on with verses 4-8 of Mark 1. Try to transcribe using the sheets I provided, especially looking for variants from the Nestle-Aland text. Also, more fun with The Eusebian Canons

For 4/15

In class on Thursday, we will discuss whether we want to spend some time on Codex Washingtonianus, culminating with a field trip to the Freer/Sackler Gallery in D.C. to see the actual mss. Interested? For now, check out: Codex Washingtonianus Introduction and then go on to: Gospel Of Mark images.
UPDATE: I just found out that as of 2 months ago, Codex Washingtonianus has been completely withdrawn and is no longer available for viewing. Do you still want to work on it? Read the Introduction (don't bother with the discussion of the cover art), then click on the Gospel of Mark images link in the previous paragraph, and then go to Mark 1.1-8. Then use Mark 1.1-8 Transcribe.pdf to help you transcribe it.
