You could start by making a list of the words you think need to be defined in a special glossary.

Hi,

Please include the meanings of "spirit" and "spirituality."

Ted Hoffman · 07-30-2003, 08:32 AM

I have hurriedly added onto CXs list above and provided a few meanings of some terms.

1. I provide a list below so that others can add onto it.

2. I have given examples about which I need your comments before I proceed. Notable is the example of Pseudiepigraphal and pseudiepigraphy. Do you think its okay to have many forms of the same word and we use see/ see also references?

3. Should I add links to sites that discuss the subject at length?

4. Should I provide examples for example Chiasmic structture in Mark?

5. Is an "=" sign ok as used?

6. Is TF= Testimonium Flavianum ok as it is or should there be another or same entry explaining Testominium Flavianum?

7. I think we should also include in the Glossary all the names of the early historians/church fathers - what do you think of that?

8. Should the abbreviations be sorted separately?

9. Since you will be compiling it, perharps I shouldn't worry about the format since you will replace the equal signs? Or should I post them ready to be cut and pasted to the actual glossary?

10. Please people, add onto the list below:

Indeed it does, but is anyone going to the trouble of actually formatting and writing up the list?

FYI the definition of "codex" should probably distinguish it from other forms of manuscripts.

Vorkosigan · 07-31-2003, 09:41 PM

What if we drew up a long list and then assigned one term each week to a dozen or so of the regulars, and then the definitions were formatted and posted to the sticky by the redoubtable PK or the invincible CX? (ever wonder why our mods initials resolve to (1) a psychic power and a (2) plastic explosive? There's something going on here.....)..in a few weeks we'd have forty or fifty terms done at minimal effort.

Ted Hoffman · 07-31-2003, 11:10 PM

I agree with Vork - and CX is right concerning Codex - that was done hurriedly.
CX, I indicated ALk to be Aramaic Luke (wild guesswork). Its suposed to mean Au_Lk right?
About Vorks suggestion, we must have volunteers first.
I am Volunteer number 1.
Next?

Ted Hoffman · 07-31-2003, 11:13 PM

Where the heck is Celcus? I asked about including names of historical characters and authors in the Glossary - like Josephus, Celsus, Phlegon, Agapius, Philo
