So What Does Transcribing a Manuscript Look Like?

Working on the Mandaic Book of John.

Well, in truth it's rather boring if you're not a linguist. But this tends to make folks like me geek out. :-)

Gotta admit, though, (and I'm not endorsing Apple, just stating a fact) using a Retina Display makes it so much easier on the eyes. Big improvement. :-)

Peace,

    I just completed Ben Sira! The life of modern scribes, eh?

    Hi,
    I recently acquired some Syriac manuscripts. I am clueless what they are about. Can you or anyone here shed some lights? See my posting at

    I could send you more photos if required. Thanks
