Subject: PHI Telephone Number
Hi, I'm new to the list.
I'm interested in purchasing the Packard Humanities Institute CDROM(s) (for
IBM and compatibles). Do any of you happen to know the Institute's current
location and telephone number? I thought that they were in San Jose
(California) (I live in San Francisco), but apparently not.
Also, do any of you happen to know whether there is a message list devoted
to studies of the Vulgate? What I'd like to find (buy) is a lexicon of
Vulgate Latin, if such an animal exists. :-)
Please send your replies to gfross@dnai.com.
Thanks!

Here's the latest I find (don't know how current it is, but it's posted on
the Classics List web site currently):

I don't know if there is such an animal. You can consult a Vulgate text on
a web site called "Virtual Bible," but I don't have that URL handy.
One out of two isn't so bad, huh?

A passage that immediately comes to mind which has a similar
construction is Lk. 1:7. Speaking of Elizabeth and Zechariah, Luke
writes, KAI OUK HN AUTOIS TEKNON "But they had no child." I'm sure I've
come across at least one other instance of this construction in Luke, but
can't remember just where, now. Someone with a grammatical search program
could probably come up with some others.

Subject: Greek Translation
I want to second Edward Hobbs last two posts. Taking four years of Greek
after retirement, I will always remember Dr. Patrica Matsens standard
statement. "You can not translate Greek until you learn to think like a
Greek". I read from Homer down to NT, and have come to believe that you
need the broad background to understand NT Greek. I still feel pretty
humble compared to some on this list.

Because this is not the kind of discussion this list was created for, I want
to make a very short statement. I do not think that any person has mastered
and influenced a field of study like Bultmann. 1921 A History of the
Synoptic Tradition; 1935 Theology of the NT; and before WWII Commentary on
John. Any of these works alone would be a lifetime achievement for a
respected scholar in the field and each demanded the attention of everyone in
the field.
