Um, what is the connection of CIL 6.736? (They do have it)

All the best,

It's the 'Mithraic blood baptism' inscription from the other thread.

Have you checked the CIL online site? Annoyingly, instead of scanning the volumes they are (slowly) reworking them, but there is still useful stuff there.

The Mingana people have printed off from fiche copies of the whole work from Mingana Ms. 142 and the 8 pages from Mingana ms. 481, and these are in the post to me, they tell me.

Yes, you are quite right, as a look at the lists of manuscripts shows. The al-Majdalus commentary appears to be about 20 pages, but various manuscript copies exist it seems. These may well be easier to work with than Garshuni.

All the best,

I now have the printoffs from the Mingana collection of the Garshuni text of Ms 142 and Ms 481. The latter is splendidly clear -- almost as if printed. The former, however, is illegible in portions. I will scan both into PDF's, although this may be delayed because of pressure of 'real life'.

I have also requested assistance from people who know Garshuni, and should be able to get this translated, at a price.

I've also been in contact with the family of Georgi Levi della Vida, in case another copy of the Italian translation exists, hopefully in full.

Here are scans of the page images for:

1. Mingana Syriac 481 fols. 221v-25v (5.4Mb, 5 double-page grey-scale images)

2. Mingana 142 ff. 48a-61b (17mb)

Giorgio Levi della Vida's scholarly papers are supposedly with the Accademia dei Lincei (fondazione Caetani). I've written to them asking for assistance.

My chosen translator for Ms. 481 is finding it tough!

Just wanted to say thanks, Roger, for keeping us up-to-date on this.
