Voynich manuscript!!

No one knows more about it or speaks more engagingly on the topic than Lisa Fagin Davis. Here is her most recent (very rigorous) discussion of the topic.

More on the Roman (late Republican) luxury domus recently discovered. This website (in Italian) has several photos and a video.

A proto-coin (ROMAN REPUBLIC: AE aes rude, 45.24g, before 4th century BC) is listed for an upcoming auction with a museum number written on the side.

The number looks like "L-1900-III".
Any numismatists or museum folk intrigued?

One of the stolen papyri in the Obbink scandal has been returned and published. It turns out to be a previously unknown collection of the sayings of Jesus, possibly 2nd century - which would make it older than almost all of the New Testament.

One expert says no bc of the non-canonical material in this fragment - it overlaps with the Gospel of Thomas also - but I think it's worth more study for sure.

How can we be sure the other stuff wasn't also in Q?

@taoish @histodons Yes, i think the door is open.

Does anyone know a comprehensive source where I could see all of the fragments of Filocalian lettering from late Rome? (presumably all church inscriptions by Pope Damasus, but surprise me!)
