Re: No discussion of 1 Corinthians?
Hi, Ram, I`ve never been a great fan of paleography except in a general sense. In times of widespread illiteracy and lack of quick communication between disparate communities, I imagine that schools or teachers of scribes might tend to retain their system over an extended period. The Qumran Scrolls were dated across two centuries paleographically, and even C14 dating with its margin of error couldn`t bring the dates much closer. Maybe the push for changes in writing, layout, etc. might have been instigated by major powers near the heart of activity and the results trickled down to isolated communities?
