Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.com? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

A sixth to seventh century AD wooden box lid from Egypt showing a scribe with a reed pen case slung over his shoulder - and just such a case with reed pens still inside it - both in the Coptic Museum in Cairo. Images from the 'Coptic Art Revealed' exhibition catalogue.

You can almost always find unexpected things in manuscripts. Today: an Ethiopian scribe trying his hand on a Greek note in an Arabic manuscript (Sin. ar. 506). It's not only the shape of some letters, or the use of textual dividers, but esp. the sneakily inserted word ቀሌምኮስ that gives him away.

Sometimes people are following me for a while and don't realize I have a podcast If that's you, hi! I make @lingthusiasm.com, a podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics! If that sounds like something you might like, give it a follow? And if you think your followers might like it, give an RT?

A colleague of mine (whose work is mostly in art & theater studies) bought a book from eBay to use for his fall class. They sent him the facsimile of Nag Hammadi Codex I. So now I have the facsimile of Nag Hammadi Codex I.

came across this gem in Coptic reading group today: ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲗⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲟⲓ "my tongue is a tongue of flesh, and mine is a human heart" (referring to the author's own human limitations in writing adequate praises of a saint)
