Question about tribal name in Gilyana

i was not aware of the similarity -- might you have a link to such scripts? i'm familiar with about four types, and none really appear even close...


Chayim b'Moshiach,

Take a look at "Antiquites of Jews - Chap 3: 2" where he also finishes it with a "lomadh"
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://books.google.ca/books?id=FvsAAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA44&lpg=PA44&dq=josephus+Reubel&source=web&ots=FklfuW_WJF&sig=7ojbv3xSQMTBxg7UMPidLxOSniw&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result">http://books.google.ca/books?id=FvsAAAA ... &ct=result</a><!-- m -->

Try the following DSS font:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.historian.net/downloads/dssfont.ZIP">http://www.historian.net/downloads/dssfont.ZIP</a><!-- m --> <= Copy/Install this font and then in an editor insert a "lomadh" and a "nun" one after another.

Shlama Keefa,


thanks for the links! so Josephus was translated wrong or what is the deal?

and wow - the font you linked DOES show a very close similarity! the error makes complete sense in that respect. i had never seen that font. the Qumran font appears somewhat similar, but he lamed there is nothing like the nun. i am wondering now how often this particular error occurs... also, this just hit me -- if the Estrangelo/Serto/Swadaya scripts don't have the similarity of the two letters, and yet it is there in the Ashuri script, does that point to the Crawford manuscript actually being written originally in Ashuri and not one of the others? because if the Crawford manuscript was originally taken from the Greek, the lamda and the nu are completely opposite-looking letters, then the error doesn't make any sense at all. see what i mean?


anyhow, thanks again for your help.


Chayim b'Moshiach,
Jeremy
