re: #51 Jay C
At least if the MotB folks are buying under-the-table papyri from a shady Oxford don, they have a reasonable likelihood of getting genuine antiquities. IIRC, the Greens have been suckered on buying numerous âbiblicalâ fakes. To say nothing of the less-than-sterling provenance of some of their acquisitionsâŚ.
This Dirk Obbink is said to work at the âSackler Library University of Oxfordâ - I read it at first as âSackler Library University of Oxyâ â which it probably well may beâŚ
Heh, just like that âpiece of the True Crossâ I once saw at a monastery in Cyprus.
Itâs been said that if you assembled all the pieces of the True Cross, youâd probably end up with a pretty nice family house.
