Anyone who has read anything on basic palaeography or done a basic collation of NT papyri & uncial codices will instantly recognize that this video is for the gullible & ignorant.

I'm sorry for any Christian who this emboldens, fast track to apostasy inshaʾAllāh.

Taught #Latin #palaeography today. Of course I used one of my favourite court records (from 1336): an #Italian -style attempted murder involving poisoned #ravioli . The victim ate them with his friends, but thankfully was fine & lived on to report this (not so) yummy crime. 🇮🇹 ☠️

i've been seeing a lot of posts from Actual Names on my feed recently, and the palaeography in some cases seems suspect at best. i thought i'd look at some of the more outlandish 'actual' names, and this is what i discovered... 🧵 1/?
