For one wanting to learn Greek well in all its ancient forms, what is
thought of starting Greek with Homer, say Clyde Pharr's -Homeric Greek-,
then moving to Koine and Attic Greek, rather than the traditional start
in Attic Greek? Thanx in advance.

I question the idea that there was substantial uncertainty in early
first century Judaism concerning the Hebrew scriptures. I recommend the
following works for further reference:
-The Old Testament Canon of the New Testament Church-
Roger Beckwith
-Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls-
Lawrence H. Schiffman
I do not understand why Josephus cannot be taken to argue that his view
in the first decade of the second century was universally held by Jews.
We have given practical proof for our reverence for our own
Scriptures. For, although such long ages have now passed, no one
has ventured to add, or to remove, or to alter anything, and it
is an instinct with every Jew, from the day of his birth, to
regard them as the decrees of God, to abide by them, and (if
need be) cheerfully to die for them. Time and again ere now the
sight has been witnessed of prisoners enduring tortures and
death in every form in the theatres rather than utter a single
word against the laws and the accompanying records.
Against Apion, 1.7f., or 1.37-47: quoted in Beckwith, p. 119.
Also, I do not see how Luke 24:44 (Law, Prophets, Psalms) suggests the
third part of the canon was fluid in Paul's lifetime.

Could it be in Raphael Cai, ed., _Super epistolas Sancti Pauli lectura:
ad Hebraeos lectura_ (Turin/Rome: Marietti, 1953) 2.335-506?
