Since Murray left a comment on the original post asking about the status, I thought I'd take a minute to blog an update.

The experiment is a go. Three people have contacted me with interest and I've sent them some materials to get started. At least one has started. I fully intend to do some copying, but haven't had a spare moment to get going yet. I figure four samples is enough to at least look at. As samples come in, and as I collate them, I'll keep y'all informed as to what's happening.

If you're interested in copying out, by hand, Second Timothy please let me know. More details here.

Update (2006-01-24): Just took a spare moment to get started and whipped out most of chapter 1. Hoo-boy is my MS hand bad. Well, my handwriting in my native language is bad, so I guess it is no surprise my Greek handwriting isn't the most legible. Collation should be a hoot!

Update II (2006-01-25): Wow, just got two more folks interested in playing the scribe. Sweet! Anybody else? Feel free to email me.

Update III (2006-01-26): Suzanne, one of this experiment's most enthusiastic participants, leaves a comment below with an update to her status. I appreciate Suzanne's contribution and I appreciate her blogging. Yep, she blogs for the Better Bibles Blog but also has her own unique corner of blogdom in Abecedaria (which I've recently listed in the blogroll at the right). If you like ancient language and are generally interested in writing systems, check out Abecedaria! And ... if I get my act together and swallow my pride, I may actually take a digital photo of a practice page I copied of the start of 2 Timothy and post it on the blog! So stay tuned.
