The Lord's Prayer: A WORSE "Translation" Then Neil

[Paul Younan]

Hmmm Larry,

sounds like the text was thrown together. Interesting.

Don't want to get you guys distracted with your projects you have at hand, just wanted to get some opinions from the experts here.

Thanks Larry <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

Shlama Akhay,

Some leaves on the manuscript became worn out over time. They were replaced by a later hand in the Contemporary script (see pic#14). The vast majority of the original leaves in the Estrangelo script are still intact.

Akhi Larry - I don't know what to make of the alternating Estrangelo/Swadaya Taws. Both are legit - but it is weird to see them mixed like that. Maybe the scribe replacing the worn-out leaves knew both scripts and didn't realize that he was alternating between the two forms. <!-- s:dontgetit: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/dontgetit.gif" alt=":dontgetit:" title="Dont Get It" /><!-- s:dontgetit: -->
